Hello everyone! It's Jennie from JD's Rockin' Readers! I'm sharing a post with you today that I had on my blog awhile back. It's had a lot of views and I know people are always interested in how they can better document interventions. So, I am going to share with you a form that I created to help me keep track! I created an RTI progress monitoring freebie and have had people ask exactly how I use it. I have been documenting and thought I would share a student that I previously wrote a post about. This student has been struggling with sight words in her reading. She gets many of them confused and they are definitely not automatic in her reading. This student is a good artist and loves to draw so I wanted to use her strengths to help her get excited about learning these words that are difficult for her. You can check out the blog post {here} for more information. The first page of the progress monitoring plan is basic information. This page describes the students strengths/weaknesses, skills needed to succeed, and intervention skills that you will be specifically working on. This page also allows you to document what the intervention will be, who is providing the intervention, how often, and what assessments you will use to monitor the progress. Here is a sample of my student struggling with sight words. *Here is my disclaimer... I typed this for the purpose of this blog post. I usually just hand write the documentation but I wanted you to be able to read it- my handwriting is not the best thanks to breaking my arm when I was younger:( Here is the first page. When I make copies, I copy page 1 and page 2 back to back. Page 2 is where I record the Assessment Data and my progress monitoring notes. For this intervention, I am using my sight word lists (I use Lucy Calkins list from The Teachers College of Reading and Writing). You can check out my post here that tells why I choose to use her list over Dolch and Fry. I also am looking at her Reading Benchmark Book running record to see if she is reading the sight words correctly in text. Page 3 is where I do my daily documentation. This example is over about a month. Unfortunately, I didn't see B. L. as much as I had hoped. She was sick for a few days and I was out with a sick child for a couple days as well. And- I think we had a couple of snow days... For her intervention I made different flashcards. Again, to learn more about the intervention and how I made the flashcards, you can go to this blog post. I hope this helps give you some ideas of possible ways you can use this form to document. Remember, this is only one example for one specific student. This form can be used with just about any intervention you may need to do. If you would like to download this sample, just click {here}. For a free blank copy you can click on the picture below. Please let me know if you have additional questions:)
