I used a First Sound Fluency progress monitoring form to see where our Year 1 K students are in relation to the Beginning of Year benchmark for when they return in the fall.

🌟 100% of the students are already at or above benchmark

πŸ”΅ 89% above
🟒 11% at

a man in a grey sweater and tie says the alphabet is fine but it 's what we do with it that matters most ALT: a man in a grey sweater and tie says the alphabet is fine but it 's what we do with it that matters most

Interesting EOY K screening tidbit…

Only ONE student w composite score below benchmark:

Phoneme Segmentation Fluency at benchmark

Nonsense Word Fluency above benchmark (was below at MOY)

But: Letter Naming Fluency score of 3.

Very successful reader w/o letter names (yet).
