On last year, my District stopped using TPRI to monitor 3rd grade reading levels fluency progress. I felt, as the Grade Level Chair, that we did not have an accurate gauge of how the students were progressing. I proposed to our principal that we do independent monitoring of the student's progress using the TPRI reading instrument to provide a more accurate formative assessment of student progress and a more focused approach to RTI this coming school year. If we use selected classes for the TPRI and exclude one of the class, we could measure if the use of the instrument is worthy of full implementation the following year. This past school year we only had STAAR test results as a summative assessment that did not fully explore the student total fluency growth over the year. The students did take six weeks benchmark test that showed their mastery of the content genres from the Basal reading program. It did not illustrate students’ fluency growth over the year. I'm still in the process of formally developing the plan but, I feel that continuous monitoring with TPRI would be more effective.
