Emery shows clear growth in her spelling development, particularly with the addition of some long vowel patterns that were not previously mastered. Her continued strength with initial and final consonants, short vowels, and digraphs remains steady, and there is evidence of improvement in both accuracy and confidence. Although blends slightly decreased in performance compared to the pre-assessment, overall, Emery shows progression toward the within-word pattern stage, demonstrating early control of long vowel spelling patterns. Continued focus on mastering these complex vowel patterns, along with blends and inflected endings, will help her strengthen her spelling foundation further.
Strengths
Mastery of CVC patterns; strong and consistent performance with initial and final consonants, short vowels, and digraphs; emerging accuracy with long vowel patterns.
Needs
Continued instruction and practice with long vowel patterns (silent e and vowel teams); reinforcement of consonant blends; introduction and practice with more complex vowel patterns and inflectional endings.
