READING	MATHEMATICS	BEHAVIOR
Phonemic Awareness/Early Reading Behaviors o See attached screening form. Phonics/Solving Words o Recognizes high-frequency words. o Searches for visual information within a word to solve it. o Uses the meaning of the sentence to solve words. o Uses sound analysis (sounding out) to solve words. o Uses known words and word parts (including onset and rimes) to solve words. Oral Reading Fluency o Reads smoothly. o Reads with intonation and/or expression. o Reads at a good rate—not too fast or too slow. Vocabulary Development o Uses sentence context to derive the meaning of words. Comprehension Strategies o Discusses text after reading, remembering important information or details. o Identifies important details in a text and reports them in writing. o Rereads to search for and use information. o Thinks Beyond the Text: predicts, connects, infers, and synthesizes. Self-Monitoring/Self-Correcting o Notices when an attempt does not look right, sound right, or make sense. o Self-corrects most of the time. Emotions and Motivation o Chooses to read outside of assigned reading time. o Reading successfully motivates student to continue to read.	Number Sense o Uses objects and drawings to represent whole numbers up to . o Names pictorial representations of common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4). o Uses objects and drawings to represent common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4). o Counts orally to . o Skip counts by 2s to , 5s to , and 10s to . o Indicates more or less when comparing a set of objects. o Sequences up to numbers. o Writes, orders, and compares numbers to . o Fluently computes basic addition and subtraction facts. o Computes addition problems with numbers up to digits. o Computes subtraction problems, without regrouping, with numbers up to digits. o Computes subtraction problems, with regrouping, with numbers up to digits. Measurement o Compares and orders objects according to measurable attributes (e.g. longest to shortest). o Uses, describes, and estimates measures of length, perimeter, capacity, weight, time, and temperature using U.S. and metric units. o Selects and uses the appropriate tool and unit of measurement in problem-solving situations. o Measures length to the nearest . o Tells time to the nearest ___. Algebra o Reproduces and extends patterns and sequences using a variety of materials. o Recognizes patterns and uses that information to solve a problem (e.g. in and out boxes). Geometry o Recognizes and names basic shapes, such as: triangle, square, circle, rectangle, oval, and rhombus. o Recognizes and describes rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, and geometric solids such as cubes, cylinders, cones, and spheres. o Constructs models of three-dimensional objects. Data Analysis & Probability o Constructs, reads, and interprets displays of data including tables, charts, tally marks, and bar graphs. o Interprets data using the concepts of largest, smallest, most often, and middle. o Behavior Problems o Peer rejection o Negative attitude o Aggressive behavior o Withdrawn/disinterested o Seems sad or unhappy o Spends time alone o Nervous or fearful o Bullied by peers o Complains about being sick or hurt o Other:

READING	MATHEMATICS	BEHAVIOR
Solving Words o Recognizes most words quickly and easily. o Solves multi-syllable words. o Uses visual information to solve words. o Uses meaning to solve words. o Uses a range of strategies to take words apart and understand what words mean. Self-Monitoring/Self-Correcting o Checks on whether reading sounds right, looks right, and makes sense. o Uses several strategies to self-correct errors. Maintains Fluency o Maintains expressive phrased reading. o Reads at a good rate: not too fast and not too slow. Comprehension o Discusses the text after reading, remembering important information or details. o Provides an oral summary with appropriate details in sequence. o Rereads to search for and use information. o Identifies nonfiction text structures. o Identifies important ideas within a text and reports them in writing. o Searches for and uses information to confirm or disconfirm predictions. o Brings background knowledge to the understanding of a text. o Goes beyond the literal meaning of a text to think about what is not there but what is implied by the writer. Emotions and Motivation o Reading successfully motivates reader to continue to read. o Reader is self-motivated to read outside of assigned time.	Number Sense o Fluently computes basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. o Reads, writes, orders, and compares numbers, including decimals, to the _ place. o Computes digit by digit multiplication problems. o Divides a digit by a digit number with remainder. o Adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides with decimals. o Explains and uses equivalent fractions and decimals. o Adds, subtracts, and multiplies fractions and mixed numbers, answering in simplest form. o Uses number sense to estimate and justify the reasonableness of solutions to problems. Measurement o Reads and interprets various scales includes those based on number lines, graphs, and maps. o Selects and uses appropriate units and tools to measure to the degree of accuracy required in problem-solving situations. o Converts between common units of measure. Algebra o Analyzes and describes patterns using tables, graphs, and standard algebraic notation. o Writes and solves simple algebraic expressions in one variable. o Analyzes functional relationships to explain how a change in one quantity results in a change in another. o Distinguishes between linear and non-linear relationships. Geometry o Solves problems involving perimeter and area in two dimensions. o Solves problems involving surface area and volume in three dimensions. o Recognizes and describes the following properties: symmetry, parallelism, perpendicularity, and congruence. o Recognizes, draws, and describes points, lines, line segments, rays and angles as right, obtuse, or acute. o Knows angle relationships formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal and the sum of the interior angles for regular polygons.
