It's time!!

We've been working towards this week all year long @ BC! We've done so much to get ready: read our nightly passage, recorded and listened to ourselves read, read to our teachers countless times, worked on fluency, decoding, retelling, etc.
Now, it's time for...
Below is a link to the DIBELS website - you can see benchmarks (goals) for this year and the upcoming years.
ORF - Oral Reading Fluency (how many words read per minute with fluency and prosody (expression)
RTF - Retell Fluency (how well your child can comprehend and tell about what they've read)
**The goal is to be in the low risk category in each section (ex: 2nd grade, end of year ORF: 90 and above).
