FAMILY
BACKGROUND:
Jason
lives
in
an

at
his
grandparents
house
with
his
parents
and
older
sister.
His
sister
is
thirteen
years-old.
He
also
lives
with
his
extended
family.
In
the
home
are
his
grandparents,
two
aunts,
one
great-aunt,
great-grandmother,
and
cousins.
Jason
lives
with
his
two
aunts
who
are
thirteen
and
twenty-one
years
old.
He
also
has
two
uncles
who
have
children
of
their
own
who
visit
the
house
multiple
times
per
week.
In
addition,
Jason
has
multiple
aunts,
uncles
and
cousins
from
his
father's
side
of
the
family
who
he
visits
often.
Jason's
entire
family
has
attended
Brentwood
School
District.
GENERAL
OBSERVATIONS:
Jason
speaks
maturely
for
his
age.
Since
there
are
a
lot
of
people
in
his
home,
he
knows
about
a
lot
of
different
subjects
and
carries
a
conversation
well.
He
can
be
shy
and
becomes
bored
quickly.
When
spoken
to,
Jason
wants
to
be
treated
maturely.
He
told
me
I
was
talking
to
him
"like
a
baby".
His
initial
response
to
many
questions
is
"I
don't
know".
In
most
cases
I
can
get
more
of
a
response
from
him,
but
I
had
to
ask
him
multiple
times.
Most
of
the
students
in
his
classroom
are
Spanish
speaking.
Jason
is
aware
that
there
is
a
difference
between
himself
and
his
classmates.
However,
that
"difference"
is
what
he
understands
as
"normal".
He
loves
his
teacher
and
also
liked
his
kindergarten
teacher.
Jason
does
not
utilize
context
clues
when
reading.
He
has
great
difficulty
recognizing
sight
words
and
high
frequency
words.
His
decoding
is
affecting
his
reading
comprehension.
Currently
Jasons
reading
comprehension
is
not
below
grade
level,
but
as
the
text
complexity
increases
it
is
likely
he
will
fall
behind.

Jason
did
well
with
the
vocabulary
assessment.
He
was
relieved
when
he
discovered
he
did
not
have
to
read
the
words
himself.
Jason
began
very
quickly
saying
antonyms.
Then,
started
to
get
caught
up.
His
first
error
was
brother
he
said
"father".
It
took
him
about
15
seconds
to
arrive
at
that
answer.
After
this
error
he
appeared
nervous
and
weary.
It
took
Jason
longer
with
each
response,
even
a
few
words
that
I
was
confident
Jason
knew
he
overthought.
For
crooked
he
said
"I
don't
know".
I
am
not
positive
that
he
knew
what
the
word
crooked
meant.
However,
once
he
started
saying
"I
don't
know"
it
became
his
go
to
response.
A
few
of
the
responses
he
got
correct
he
initially
said
"I
don't
know"
before
responding.

Analysis:
2/28/14
Analysis:
I
began
the
reading
passages
with
Jason
at
the
preprimer
level.
He
made
no
errors
and
had
great
comprehension.
Therefore,
I
moved
on
with
him
to
the
primer
level.
At
this
level
he
had
two
miscues
and
read
in
phrases.
His
reading
was
slow,
but
not
choppy.
Jason
did
not
pause
between
each
word.
Once
moving
on
to
grade
1
level
Jason
had
five
miscues.
He
began
reading
word
by
word,
inserting
a
pause
between
words
to
sound
it
out.
Jason
did
not
use
the
"tapping
out
method",
instead
he
just
slowly
said
the
sounds
of
the
word.
We
continued
reading
until
the
second
grade
level,
which
was
at
frustration
level
for
Jason.
He
made
nine
miscues,
five
of
which
were
substitutions.
The
majority
of
those
substitutions
were
of
a
high
graphonic
level.
Throughout
all
of
the
passages
Jason
lacked
intonation
and
pitch.
Sight
words
also
most
a
problem
for
Jason
because
he
tries
to
sound
out
words
that
are
not
decodable.
Also,
when
Jason
is
stuck
on
a
word
he
becomes
frustrated
and
wants
to
rush
through
the
remainder
of
the
reading.

Analysis:
Jason
read
fluently
in
the
beginning.
His
reading
became
choppier
as
he
read
further.
Jason
seemed
to
lack
reading
stamina.
He
was
easily
distracted
from
the
reading.
Jason
had
trouble
decoding;
he
would
break
the
word
into
parts
slowly.
Often
I
felt
that
he
knew
the
word,
but
doubted
himself.
I
would
prompt
him
to
go
ahead
and
say
it
and
he
would
right
away.
A
lot
of
the
words
he
stumbled
on
he
would
read
as
a
similar
word,
but
not
the
correct
word.
Jason
spent
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
sound
out
words.
He
tried
to
sound
out
sight
words
which
are
not
decodable.
When
he
could
not
figure
out
the
word
he
would
become
frustrated.
While
reading,
if
there
was
anything
going
on
in
the
background
it
would
distract
Jason
from
his
reading
and
de
would
ask
me
about
it
(television
or
another
conversation)
then
it
was
very
difficult
for
him
to
get
the
flow
of
the
reading
back.
Once
I
noticed
this
trait
I
made
sure
for
other
readings
that
we
were
alone
and
it
was
silent.
Also,
Jason
did
not
acknowledge
that
a
period
is
a
time
to
pause
and
take
a
breath.
He
would
read
straight
through
the
period
and
then
need
to
take
a
break
in
the
middle
of
the
sentence.
This
wasn't
that
noticeable
because
his
reading
was
choppy
and
there
were
a
lot
of
chances
for
him
to
breathe.
Jason's
reading
was
monotone
and
showed
little

of

FINAL
SUMMARY:
Jason
is
a
clever
student
who
is
unsure
of
himself.
He
struggles
decoding
words
and
lacks
quick
sight
word
recognition.
However,
Jason
has
an
abundance
of
well
thought
out
ideas
when
writing
and
speaking.
Jason's
comprehension
is
affected
by
his
need
to
break
apart
most
words.
At
his
current
level
his
comprehension
is
not
far
behind
his
grade
level,
but
as
the
years
progress
it
is
likely
comprehension
will
become
a
problem.
Jasons
reading
is
not
fluent.
It
is
choppy
and
slow.
Since
Jason
is
aware
that
his
reading
is
slow,
the
length
of
a
text
intimidates
him.
Jason's
confidence
has
been
increasing
as
he
practices
his
sight
words
more
often.
It
is
clear
that
Jason
feels
more
secure
with
himself
when
he
approaches
a
sight
word
that
he
knows
automatically.
From
our
first
session
to
our
last
it
is
clear
that
Jason
is
more
eager
to
try
to
read
unfamiliar
texts.
Jason
appears
proud
of
the
amount
of
word
cards
he
has
added
to
his
personal
sight
word
collection.
Initially,
Jason
would
respond
"I
don't
know"
to
questions
that
he
likely
would
know
the
answer
to.
The
more
his
confidence
increases
the
less
he
says,
"I
don't
know".
Jason
should
continue
to
practice
sight
words
and
high
frequency
word
recognition
to
avoid
regression
and
keep
building
upon
his
fluency
and
reading
confidence.
Games
on
the
laptop
and
iPad
are
great
motivators
for
Jason
and
should
be
utilized
as
much
as
possible.
As
Jason
becomes
a
more
fluent
reader
the
emphasis
should
shift
more
heavily
to
reading
comprehension.
Jason
should
practice
putting
sticky
notes
on
pages
that
he
struggles
with.
Rereading
texts
will
also
enhance
both
Jasons
fluency
and
reading
comprehension.
In
addition,
the
more
Jason
rereads
the
same
text
the
more
confident
he
will
feel
with
that
text.

submitted,
