• The ministry only funds 5 years of ELL
support, but they track students
requiring more years of support. Include
them on your 1701.

Reading Assessment
Low prep, highly diagnostic
Procedure:
• Pre-reading: What do you know about _____?
• In partners or small groups, have them fill out the T-
chart: Know/Don’t Know
• Independent reading: Pass out reading passage and
have students read silently
• Post reading: in partners or small groups, continue
filling out the T chart.
• Circulate, taking notes, asking prompting questions or
make comments using academic vocabulary
• Wrap up: share out: what do they know now? Ask
them to use evidence from the text.
• Use the new reading rubric to summarize notes and
observations
