This document outlines a classroom literacy profile created by two 4th grade teachers to better monitor student literacy levels and progress through various assessments. It details the current assessments in place like ISTEP, NWEA, and DRA as well as new assessments like Rigby benchmarks that will be added. It also discusses new interventions and strategies for comprehension and vocabulary that will be implemented. The classroom literacy profile aims to organize existing assessment data to drive literacy instruction and allow teachers to collaborate on student successes and challenges over multiple years.
