Consider changing a student's level or goal if cold- and hot-timing scores improve significantly or the number of practices to reach goal is usually 3 or less.

Alias

determining-when-to-make-a-change

If you see a trend in one or more of the following, it may be time to make a change.

  • The student's cold- and hot-timing scores improve significantly.

  • The number of practices the student takes to reach the goal reading rate has decreased significantly. If a student typically reaches the goal in fewer than three practices, this is a strong indication that it is time for a change.

  • The student consistently exceeds his or her goal on the hot timing.

  • The student's behavior indicates the student is no longer challenged. For example, the student may appear bored.
