Notes on Paris

September 21, 2011

“Her overall cognitive (thinking and reasoning) abilities are in the Average range for her age yet 1) her ability to read accurately and [pair with Samar] 2) form letters is considerably weaker. [Printing practice by tracing letters @ home?] 3) The Word Reading, [Raz-Kids -- listening/Spellingcity] 4) Pseudoword Decoding, and [Spellingcity and Lit Circle] 5) Spelling Subtests [50% and Spellingcity]

are all siginificantly weaker than would be expected given her cognitivie abilities.”

In-class observations:

- Difficulty with multiplication facts. Able to complete 30/50 questions in a 5 minute period. 9/10 of completed questions are answered correctly. Speed of completion seems unaffected by which numbers are being focused on. Low numbers (ie. 2x3) takes about the same amount of time as slightly higher numbers (ie. 6x8).

- Usually unwilling to contribute ideas/answers during class discussions. Has put her hand up 2 times in my memory. On both occasions it was to offer answers from previously completed work when we were marking it as a class. Seems to feel more comfortable when she has already had adequate time to think through her response.

- During group activities does not speak to group members and does not seem to respond to encouragement from classmates to share her ideas. Prefers to focus on her own work during these times.

- Seems happiest when working on her art.

- Has become friends with another student in the class - Samar. Samar could also possibly benefit from Learning Support and the girls have seemed to enjoy visiting the LST room together.

- Has been achieving significantly below average scores on spelling tests (ie. 4/20). Spelling is noted as a struggle on her IEP and she will not be assessed on it in her day-to-day work. However, Paris' at-home spelling work is not being completed and she does not seem to be putting time into studying for the weekly tests. There is little or no improvement between the Monday pre-test and the Friday test. Study skills?

- Requires extra time to complete written work. I have offered her the use of a computer twice thus far and both times she has been adamant that she does not want to use one.

- Some difficulty with organization of materials. Paris needs extra reminders/support in putting handouts/work into her duotangs/binder.

Recommendations:

ORGANIZATION - TRANSITIONS - EXTRA TIME - REDUCED AMOUNTS (50%) - HOME SPELLING - HOME READING - LIT CIRCLE -
