Our district has formative and summative tests for reading which includes phonics, written conventions, and comprehension. My students, 14 are ELL's and 8 are below grade level, did poorly. Only 45% passed if you look at the test overall. Some of their mistakes were careless, but I know the principal is really anxious for the students to pass the Calif. state test in the spring (yes, we test 2nd graders...go figure). I guess I'm looking for encouragement because I know you're all positive thinkers. I'm trying to decide what to do with the info. I spend time on comprehension strategies...predicting, visualizing, etc. but maybe I need to change my focus. They are improving in the comprehension area. Ok, help!!!
