  2. Part 1: Classroom Assessment (QIWK)—Background • Classroom: Grade 2 • Number of students: 17 • QIWK Lists: G1, G2, G3 • How is spelling taught in class: Spelling and vocabulary are both primarily taught through the use of worksheet packets. Students work with their worksheet packets during center time in the mornings. Other than this interaction with spelling, students are expected to study their words at home as homework. There is a great review game for spelling words the students practice with at school called “Sparkle” • “Sparkle”- Students line up in a straight line and one by one the spelling words are said. When a new spelling word is given, the students each say one letter of the word in the order that it comes to them. When the last letter is said the next person has to say “Sparkle” signifying that they know the word is finished and they’re ready to move on to a new word. If someone says the wrong thing, they have to sit down. The game continues until there is one standing.

  7. Part 2: Individual Assessment –Observations • Student was very eager to assist and help us on this project but also seemed nervous • She was very aware of proximity to the teacher • It was obvious she “felt” she was above the reading levels that we were giving her • She was quick to catch and correct her own mistakes • Student has some issues with self-esteem • Her reading ability is much higher than her spelling ability. • She is only motivated to do well and complete work in a timely manner when teacher is giving her direct attention • She reads like she talks, very slowly. This may be a result of family characteristics.
