Update on SK intervention results May 14

General Lake Senior Kindergarten Results -May 14, 2014 The following 20 Senior Kindergarten students were marked as ‘at risk’ because of their reading development by the teachers. The students from 1-10 were in the English Senior kindergarten program and the remainder were in the French Immersion program. In March a focused intervention was put in place to address the needs of the English Senior kindergartens. This intervention took the two classes and divided them into three ability groupings. The SERT teacher worked with one group, and the other 2 teachers worked with the other two groups during the first 2 out of 3 blocks of the day in language and math. A similar focused intervention has also been put in place for the French Immersion students during their 300 minutes of Core English class in late March to address those students identified with reading concerns. It has been noted that the French Immersion students traditionally progress slowly initially in their reading achievement but by grade 3 they catch up. It was reported by the teachers that the other students involved have shown tremendous progress in the groupings because of the focused interventions and have benefitted greatly from using the high yield strategies. Gains have been slow, but steady for the identified ‘at risk’ students in the focus group as you can see in the following data. Recently tutors have been added to work daily with the focus group. *A Communicative Disorders Assistant has also begun working with some of the students twice per week. *indicates student receiving CDA support 1.
