The first part of fourth grade I focus on getting my students excited about reading.  The two charts show our STAR reading assessments from the beginning of the year (August) and our most recent test in January.  We have made progress.  We moved from 49% proficient or advanced to 68% proficient or advanced.  More work still needs to be done but a little celebration is in order.

Progress is very slow.  Much more work to do.

Making progress but far too many students are below grade level.  More work to do!
