Anaysia Case Study

Student introduction: Anaysia is a 9-year-old student in third grade at New Brighton

Elementary School. She is in the special education room for ELA.

Goal: On her IEP her goal is 90% proficiency on her sight word list progress monitored
quarterly. So we decided that is what we would strive for. 90% proficiency on her Fry’s first 100
sight word list.

How we are doing this: After getting her baseline I will take the first eight words she got
wrong and write them on an index card. I will drill these with her every day and after two weeks
progress monitor to see where we are at (or as close to two weeks as her attendance allows). I
will repeat this process every two weeks over the course of the semester.

Findings- She made remarkable progress in just the short time I worked with her. She
started out at that 90% proficiency rate on my baseline assessment. On my next assessment,
she had regressed a little bit to an 88% proficiency rate. On my Third assessment she jumped to
a 96% proficiency rate.

Recommendations for further instruction: Given that she was very close to her goal and
had times where she made progress and times where she backtracked, I do think my daily sight
word drill helped so I would continue with that. On change I would make is I would most likely
send it home for homework on occasion. Possibly over the weekends. This would allow for
continuity and extra practice.

Evaluation of process, probes, and what I learned: I feel that in general I had a fairly
efficient process and that my probes gave me a lot of information and given by student made
progress, I feel I must have done something correct. Something I did learn that it is trickier than
it seems to get a pm session done exactly every two weeks due to student attendance and the
school schedule.
