Slow but steady pays.

Been working with and intervention group and have been going over sounds and the letters that they represent with my group. Why that is what the data we have compiled on these students say they are missing. Today they were progress monitored and 3 of the 4 tested out. The one that didn't test out is from another country and is really going through an extended silent period. But if I just keep going slow and steady I may just work myself out of an intervention group and into another one that needs some academic foundations that they may have missed in the past. The hare may be faster but the slow and steady turtle won the race. Sometimes achievement comes in leaps and bound but more often than not if you just keep working with them on the needed skills to read they will get there.
