Thanks to those who commented about my student who exhibited faster reading silently with good comprehension. I feel that in the upper intermediate too many teachers want the kids to continue to read aloud and so they don't get the necessary practice of listening to their inner conversations. I just wanted to let Bill from Tampa Bay know that in a QRI administration the kids retell the story without the story in front of them and also answer the questions without the text. Our district only takes results without "lookbacks" I only let the kids go back in the text to check if their wrong answers were the results of poor working memory. And to the first person who wrote back- She has scored a low 3 on this year's ELA and her writing, while lacking good spelling, does have voice and ideas. Thanks for your help. Michelle 4/5 ny
