Dear Colleagues,
Our next data collection of running records and spelling inventories are due at the end of February for each learner. This is great timing to gather data for the three-way conferences and perhaps set learning goals based on that data with our learners.
The due date in the spreadsheet is the end of February 2022.
Spelling Inventory Reminders:
Primary Spelling Inventory G1-2
Elementary Spelling Inventory G3-5 (or G1-2 if needed)
Upper-Level Spelling Inventory G3-5
For anyone that tests out, please move to the next assessment. Eg. Primary moves to Elementary test
Running Record Reminders:
instructional level is recorded (take multiple running records if needed to find instructional level-conversion chart taped to each box)
refer to information files in the assessment box for reminders on scoring, coding, and finding instructional levels
see Learning Leaders if you require books outside of your grade level (Trevor A-N, Riana L-Z)
Fountas and Pinnell running record data and Spelling data will be collected for every student 3 times a year
Oct (Fiction), Feb (Non-Fiction), June (Fiction)
if you would like a refresher or have questions, please see your Learning Leader
Recording info:
Access this spreadsheet link to record running record instructional level and WTW spelling stage. Please do not add additional information into the cells, as it is exported to another system. However, feel free to make a copy of your grade level after completing the info if you wish to include your own data such as reading behaviours, MSV miscues and individual notes. New students should already be visible in the spreadsheet. If they are not, please add them to the bottom of your list.

please ask EAL and LS teachers to help out
refrain from coaching into any of these testing materials as it interferes with validity
