Jimmy's PALS Scores

PALS stands for Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening. It is a very basic reading test, assessing phonomenic awareness, phonics, fluency, and core reading vocabulary. For Kindergarten, the fall benchmark score is 28 and the spring is 81. Jimmy's fall test was a 7. His spring test was a 94. I think is testimony to both the instruction and the consult services brought in for his attention and behavior issues. I am just astounded at the progress this reflects in him. I am stunned. He just amazes me all the time. Of course, as I am typing this, he is playing in the toilet.
