Last month we began the Year of Sofia. We talked about how Sofia tested in all four domains—listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Even though Sofia isn't an actual student, her story mirrors the hundreds of thousands of students who use TELL to help build literacy skills. Her story is told through the eyes of her 2nd grade teacher, Susan Harris.
Last month we started this journey, following Olivia's progress throughout the school year. For those who might have missed it you can find the first blog article here. And while Olivia isn't the name of an actual child we can track, she does represent the hundreds of thousands of students who are helped by aimsweb each year.
What is the best way to get the power of aimswebPlus across? By telling the story of how it is used in the classroom. While I can’t tell the story of one specific student, this is the story of many students. Over the last year, I've spent a lot of time talking with educators to build a better aimsweb – aimswebPlus. This story is the culmination of all those conversations. And this is just one of many possible stories. Please share yours.

In writing this blog I wanted to capture as much of the different stories I have heard around the country from educators using our product. So while the people and places are made up, Sofia’s story represents how TELL is being used in real classrooms throughout the US.
This post is part II of our discussion on silent reading fluency. Be sure to read part I: Why is Silent Reading Fluency (SRF) Important?
Reading is a complex intellectual process that encompasses immense benefits. In the early stages of a child’s academic years, reading is one of the most important skills to learn. Reading helps a student communicate with others, discover and learn new things, complete day-to-day tasks, comprehend and retain what he or she is learning, master a language, generate new ideas, and form intellectual thoughts.
When you arrive to school each morning, you know that your success lies in the success of your students. The daunting goal of every teacher is to provide students with instruction that targets their unique needs.
