Working On My First Student Literacy Profile (SLP)

I have been super busy the past few weeks. One of the projects I've been working on for one of my courses is a Student Literacy Profile (SLP). I have been in the classroom working with a bright young boy in second grade who, for the purpose of privacy, we will call Christy. I feel that I have learned a lot about him in the past few weeks with my few visits.

A Student Literacy Profile (SLP) is used to find out more about the student's literacy skills. We are using the Basic Reading Inventory book by Jerry L. Johns to create our SLP.

So far I have learned a lot about Christy. I conducted a Personal Interest Survey and Reading and Writing Attitude surveys. I found out a lot about his family and I learn more every visit. I have also conducted a BRI Word List and Oral Reading Passages, both narrative and expository.

Last Friday when I visited to work on my fluency assessments, the teacher was celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday, March the second! It was a lot of fun and brought up great memories! The teacher even wore a "Cat in the Hat" costume! It seemed like everyone had a great day!
