The WIDA assessments are wrapping up. I'm glad that the kindergarten assessments have been completed and that I became quite adept at reading the prompts and setting up the appropriate cards. Repetition and training are apparent!
Additionally, I was finally able to meet a kindergartener whose older brother also enrolled recently. Also evident with him is a sophistication of speech and critical thinking...but a delay in reading skills, or in the kindergartener's case, sound-letter knowledge. It's not for lack of trying--he was earnestly making the sounds and trying to come up with the corresponding letters, and even making crossing motions with his arms to facilitate his recall, but perhaps switching schools so many times i.e. the interrupted education and services effect, really is telling.
