25) Please share a story with us that represents changes and/or growth you've seen in your students during and after their time with RISE/Up. Direct quotes from teachers: Students have improved in Fluency and Comprehension. I have seen changes in their phonics and decoding skills for multisyllabic words. I have seen my students progress and their joy of reading increase. They are more confdent in their skills and take more risks in decoding using strategies. I think my students have grown tremendously in their reading. They've become more confdent readers who aren't afraid to make mistakes and attempt new things. I feel like before, my students relied heavily on teacher sUpport to help them when they were stuck in reading. The readers I work with today, use their strategies, make attempts and are proud of themselves for their hard work. One student began the year at level B, with very few sight words or reading strategies, coming from a charter school. He is ending the year on level I instructional after several months of RISE and intensive work with his classroom teacher. He has mastered many sight words and has shown signifcant improvement in his confdence and fuency. I did send the books with him to reread in his classroom after we fnished station 3,
and the additional practice reading known books helped his confdence also. 3 out of the 4 students have made gains in their reading comprehension.
State FAST TEST: Two ffth graders went from a score of level 1 at the start of the year to level 2 for their midyear. The 4th grade student went from reading level M to level R independent according to his teacher. Their fastbridge scores tend to have an Upward trend. Writing has gotten stronger in all 5 students, though it is still the hardest part for them. My students love making connections between the diferent characters/stories we have read about when using RISE.
