Thadeus is a fifth grader at Oakridge Elementary School in Oakridge, OR who has made remarkable progress in Read Live.

Every year around this time, we like to remind teachers of the importance of checking their students’ initial Read Naturally placement. After the student completes three to six stories, you have more specific data about how they are performing in both fluency and comprehension. This is the point at which you should check initial placement to see whether adjustments to the initial level and goal are needed.
