Hello – I know it is early to be expecting improvements in reading and spelling, but I wanted to have this in your records.
1. September 2014 – Primary 5 teacher gives spelling test (word list not seen/shared with students before the test or practiced) and Anna achieved 2 out of 20 (lowest score in class of mixed expat children, some not from English-speaking families).
2. Start Easyread the week after this test.
2. November 28 2014 – Primary 5 teacher gives a follow up test, with different words (not seen as before nor practiced). Anna was nervous about it, but scored 10 out of 20! And was not the bottom of the class! Some of the words were: together, planned, escaped, patient. She was really happy to report this to the family!
