7. Any Additional Evidence (Optional)

As part of a school improvement plan for my middle school, the school improvement team regularly met with a representative from the VDOE to review progress of students related to literacy, as reading is an area of improvement. At each meeting those teaching SIM Strategies were able to review their data. In looking at the data as a whole, students made progress with their reading skills and this was reflected for most students through school based reading assessments and also with SIM progress monitoring. 

I regularly updated the 8th grade English teacher where Word ID was taught with a small groups of her students. As students progressed through controlled and advance practice the teacher remarked how well the students were doing with reading in the classroom. She confirmed the knowledge that Word ID had aided the groups of students taught and their reading skills had shown improvement. Students had also gained confidence in their reading ability and were eager to continue to make progress.
