I can statement

I can compile the data to have a student's starting point in Read Well.

Case Sample

Mrs. B is a special education teacher. She teaches in a self-contained classroom with students of varied ages and learning abilities. 2 out of her 12 students know their letter sounds. The other 10 know between 0-5 letters. 2 students are almost non-verbal. Where does Mrs. B begin? Where should she begin teaching in her small group/guided reading groups to reach each student in her class while differentiating lessons based on her students learning? Take a minute and answer these questions before continuing on.
