My Word ID group was comprised of 6 students in grades 6-8. I had 2 6th graders, 1 7th grader, and 3 8th graders. Students were at least 2 years behind in reading when beginning the group. Students were all identified as special education with weaknesses in reading fluency and/or comprehension. The Word ID group began in January 2018 and concluded in June 2018.
Students overall made progress with their reading. Some were able to reach grade level material. I had 3 students working on grade level material at the conclusion of the Word ID group. Two of my students were reading one level below grade level at the conclusion of the Word ID group. Out of the 6 students, 5 students were able to show at least 2 years growth in their reading. The biggest challenge within the group was consistent use of the strategy when reading. Students continued to require prompting to use their strategy and DISSECT words.
Coaching was amazing. I felt Susan was a great support throughout implementing the Word ID Strategy. She had great input and was always there to answer any of my questions or address my concerns.
