DIBELS 8th Edition Maze Progress Monitoring Maze 7Examiner script

I am going to give you a worksheet. When you get your worksheet, please write your name at the top and put your pencil down.

(Hand out the Maze student worksheets. Make sure students have written their names down before proceeding.)

You are going to read a passage with some words missing from it. For each missing word you will see a box with three words in it. Your job is to circle the word you think makes the most sense in the context of the passage. Let’s look at the Practice Passage together. Listen as I read.

Tom goes to a school far from his house. Every morning, he takes a school (pause) bus, pen, work (pause) to go to school.

Let's stop there. Let's circle the word “bus” because I think “bus” makes the most sense here. Listen to how that sentence sounds now.

Every morning, he takes a school bus to go to school.

Now it’s your turn. Read the next sentence silently to yourself. When you come to a box, read all the words in the box and circle the word that makes the most sense to you. When you are done, put your pencil down.

(Allow up to 30 seconds for students to complete the example and put their pencils down.)

If necessary, after 30 seconds say Put your pencil down. As soon as all students have their pencils down, say Good job.

Now listen. In the (pause) afternoon, library, morning (pause), he also takes a bus home. You should have circled “afternoon” because “afternoon” makes the most sense. Listen. In the afternoon, he also takes a bus home.

Okay, when I say “Begin,” turn the page and start reading the passage silently. When you come to a box, read all the words in the box and circle the word that makes the most sense in the passage. You will stop when you come to a stop sign or I say Stop. Ready? Begin. Start your stopwatch.

At the end of 3 minutes, stop your stopwatch and say Stop. Put your pencils down.

RemindersStart timer Start your stopwatch after you say Begin.

Prompts If a student starts reading the passage out loud, say Please read the passage silently. (Repeat as often as needed.)

If a student stops working, say Please keep going until you reach the end of the passage. Just do your best work. (Repeat as often as needed.)

Discontinue There is no discontinue rule. Every student should be encouraged to try their best until three minutes have passed.

How to Win an Argument

Who doesn’t love to win an argument? Being correct feels tremendous! However,

winninganin of

argument takes special ability and thedoublelouder proper

methods.

First, it’s important to realizemorestop that

you won’t win every argument. Sometimes

it myyou

will be correct, but you won’taim be go

successful. To win an argument youneedspeak write

to know who it is youarecantry

arguing against. Arguing with your parentsby itor

teachers is

mostly ineffective because theadultother teen

can always just say something like, “Again BecauseUntil

I

say so,” or, “That’s justfor howwho

it is.” When you hear eitherbyin of

these phrases, it’s time to

Metal Eating Plants

Everybody knows that plants draw up water from their roots and use the sun to make

food through photosynthesis. Some of you may even beawareknownseen

that a few plants, like the

Venus Fly Trap,attractraisethrow

and then eat insects for food. ButFor One

have you ever heard of a

light plant truck

that eats metal? This is notmachineplanet science

fiction. Such plants do actually existat inthe

nature. They are called “hyper-accumulators.”

Thegeneslabsplans

for eating metal are found ineven moresome

allalong overtoward

the planet earth. These plants absorbgears metalplants

from the soil, along with water,

their roots. The metal is transportedbyfor the

proteins and gets stored in their

pursestore tissue

. Aluminum, iron, and zinc are somein ofup

the metals that plants can absorb.

Some examples of plant world “hyper-accumulators”areendthe

and sunflowers. Barleyandfor too

in part

this depends on whatcolors keystypes

Why Don’t School Buses Have Seatbelts?

Although cars and trucks and airplanes are required to have seat belts, it is rare to

find seat belts on buses of any kind. City buses, interstate travel buses andcraft school yard

It might be helpful atall the your

, the confined space of the school

seating prevents children from being thrownduring through under

Some people argue thatadding liking throwing

belts would reduce the number ofchildren loaves trains

that could fit into a seat,motioning reducing throwing

seating capacity. This would require schoolsat so to

buy more buses, which cost morenone over than

a hundred thousand dollars each. And

awakening installing restricting

In addition, school districtsand but so
