Success!!!! Student X was 504'd before TAAKS and was able to test in a small group and have the math test read to him.

I am hopeful that with all that I have done and all the information I have gathered that I will be able to help his next teacher start his next year off where he left off. This has been a huge help to me and to his parents.

I want to thank DR. Vowels for the opportunity to learn how to be able to have such a thorough easy to read evaluation. I used it in his ARD and with the other teachers that will be working with him.

Student "X" reading sounds and words from 100 Easy Lessons 4/19/10

This video has Student "X" sounding out more sounds. The little video recorder I used ran out of memory when he got to the story. It is interesting to listen back at the mistakes he makes consistantly. He is confused by all vowel sounds. Even when the line is over the letter he does not always remember to make the long vowel sound. The same can be said for the short vowel sound. He has some words that are obviously sight words for him. He then has to sound out simple 3 0r 4 letter words. For example "lots" gave him trouble but "of" he knows to say the "v" sound not the "f" sound. Repetition is what has helped him the most. He takes copies of these pages home each night and reads them for homework. Tomorrow we will be writing the words that he sounded out today and we will be writing sounds as well. It will be interesting to see him write in a video format.

Student "X" 100 Easy Lesson 4/19

This is a video of Student "X" reading from one of the 100 Easy Lessons pages. He continues to have difficulty blending sounds. He continues to have difficulty with vowel sounds. He is making a lot of progress, however. He is not sounding out every word and has many more sight words. His fluency is much better. This program has increased his speed and his confidence in reading.
