Running Records & Assessment Early Years Learning Framework

Stage 2. Reading to Learn : PROBE is a "running record" reading comprehension test. It is administered individually to students in gr3-6, and enables teacher to monitor both the fluency with which a text is read, and the degree to which the student has understood what has been read. Students read the text aloud, whilst the teacher makes notes, and then answer questions designed to assess a range of comprehension strategies. The tests are graded by "reading age", and are passed when students achieve either 90-95% accuracy when decoding words (with at least 80% comprehension of what has been read), or 95-100% accuracy when decoding words (with less than 80% comprehension).

BOOK WEEK 2010 == We love reading at Isik. Last week we celebrated Book Week. Mrs Zengin and Mrs Oflay were our resident storytellers, who brought some characters to life. They were wonderful to watch and truly entertaining. Many thanks to ALL the teachers who were involved in the background work. Top job ladies!
