I teach in a third and fourth grade school. What criteria do other schools use for determining when students should receive reading support?

Use the PAST Test, thepasttest.com. Read/watch everything you can by David Kilpatrick. Make sure your students have automatic phonemic awareness skills to the advanced levels...we miss this and kids learn to compensate and struggle, but seem ‘lazy’ because you can tell they are smart.

DRA level, mostly. Sometimes PARCC, STAR or MAL scores. past performance seems to be a big thing because by 3/4, the kids are well known. Sadly, ESL kids & kids with an IEP (but are still mainstreamed, for reading at least) can’t go to support no matter how low their DRA is because it’s considered a “gen ed” accommodation.

IEP’s and NWEA Map scores.

DRA, Oral Fluency Assessment, STAR, and our district uses iReady, so this score is easy to pull up and look at too. I am a Title 1 teacher and support any students that are one year or more behind.

We used to use Founras and Pinnell, but now people are iReady obsessed. 🙄🙄

We use district and Nwea Map. Teachers Also have to document their concerns and collect six data points on the area of concern. Then and only then, may they bring their concerns to the IAT team to determine steps moving forward and intervention. All students must be below the 25th percentile for services.

We have a large unused professional library that includes a variety of authors, topics, and lots of the scholastic teaching resource books. Most are more than 5 years old, some much older. Some multiple copies of titles that were book studies over the years. No one is using these books and we need the space. I hate to just dump them in a trash bin. After setting them out for people to pick through at school, what can be done with these materials?

Any great resources I should check out?

I am currently one of two reading teachers at the high school I work in and three in the district, which consists of two high schools.
