Academic/Classroom -12/16
Angel is a kind and friendly fifth grade student who is continuing to build upon his effort to make progress in school. Angel takes a lot of pride in the accomplishments that he makes and works well for positive feedback. He has the tendency to get discouraged when he is confused, but tries very hard when the effort he puts in is being acknowledged. Although he is often afraid to make mistakes, Angel enjoys participating in class and will occasionally encourage his classmates to participate by giving them compliments and praise.

When factoring out comprehension, Angel’s reading fluency is at roughly a second grade level. He is currently being progress monitored for fluency development at a third grade level in AIMSweb. In the area of reading fluency, Angel shows difficulty with vowel combinations, irregular words and multisyllabic words. His overall foundation of sight word recognition is also limited.
