Follow Up - K-2 Parent Reading Session

Thank you to all of the parents and carers who attended the Parent Reading Session last Tuesday. We had over 80 families from Kindergarten to Year Two who attended the session. It was so rewarding to see the staff and families work together on a common goal for our students. 

Some of the points that I missed in my presentation are that each of the assessments we complete are one-to-one for one minute each, except for the last assessment completed for Year 2 students. This is a comprehension assessment completed for 3 minutes independently. DIBELS is a standardised assessment, which means that it is administered in the same way to every student and no adjustments are made during testing. I also wanted to confirm that on the Parent Report, Beg. means Beginning of the Year and Middle means Middle of the Year. We completed the DIBELS assessments during the beginning of the year in Weeks 5 and 6 of Term 1 and we completed the assessments during the middle of the year in Weeks 5 and 6 of Term 2. The End of Year assessment will be completed in Weeks 4-6 of Term 4. Please see here the presentation I gave about Parent Reports. 

We are welcoming any feedback on the Parent Reading Session. If you have any feedback, further questions about the session or your child's reading, please contact myself or your child's classroom teacher. We hope it was as valuable for you as it was for us!
