Great, thanks! So, do you have to go into forms, type in the word list you want them to read, and then sit next to them and choose a, b, c, or d for what they read, as far as percentages? Do you have the same goal for most students where you can copy and paste this into several forms? Just seems it could get tedious for someone in my position where we create individualized goals for each student and I'd have to re-type several words lists into different Forms... not quite making the connection yet how this is more efficient than having various word lists premade on paper...
For my kiddos, "what words did they misread" would be a lengthy list if I were testing them on, say a Fry list, and wouldn't tell me much as far as what I need to teach next.. In my state, we're prohibited from saying what the student CAN'T do in their IEPs. Their current level of performance in their IEP has to state what the student CAN do so my focus would need to be on how many words of a certain word list they COULD read.
Seems like it's a LOT more work than the paper and pencil, sit across from them, mark what words they got wrong and do a quick side by side analysis to determine growth .... did it take you long to get up and running with this? How do you run charts/graphs to show progress??
Believe me, I am not allergic to technology in anyway whatsoever lol - I'm a career changer from business and it shocks me how little educators use technology! I will check out the YouTube video but... not hopeful this is something I have time to implement this year
