I recently purchased the Lucy Calkins (Reading and Writing Project) for
Reading for both 1st and 2nd grade. (We've used the Units of Study writing kits
for many years and love it!) I read in the beginning pages about using the
Words Their Way spelling assessment to help determine a reading level
(informal, of course). After looking over the Words Their Way book, I cannot
find a correlation chart. Is anyone familiar with this way of getting a rough
starting point for early readers.
I also used the Where to Start word lists with the Fountas and Pinnell kit
and that seemed to work fairly well (although I am finding that the kids can
"word call" many of the words, but when they read the actual books, their
comprehension is lacking). Any thoughts about finding a good starting point for
1st and 2nd graders?
Appreciative,
