  1. I like your plan Tiffany. I was wondering how you will decide on individual goals for students. Will it be based on their reading level, or will you use TPRI benchmark goals? Also, will the other first grade teachers help you analyze the data, or is that something you will take on by yourself?

  2. I like your plan for your research and look forward to following your blog throughout the research process. I was wondering how often will the first grade team meet to evaluate student progress. Will it be every 6-9 weeks?

  3. As a reading teacher, my passion is helping struggling readers. I love your topic and your plan. How many first grade students are in your study? and Are your other teachers on board with your plan? Look forward to following your blog and your findings.

  4. Tiffany,
    I love your plan. Will you be tracking the student's progress or will the students have some sort of data folder they are in charge of? I love that you and your team will meet often to discuss needs and goals. I am looking forward to following your progress.
