Progress Monitoring During Daily 5

This video shows a teacher at Pleasant Grove Elementary using the PM kit to progress monitor during Daily 5. After her mini-lesson, each student spends the first rotation in Read to Self while she progress monitors. She administers the written comprehension question. The written comprehension question is optional. A HUGE thank you to the teacher and the IRT/Literacy Coach Lauren Engelhaupt for sharing with us.
