Question 6

Why do phonics lists in the beginners levels have so few words?

Accepted Answer

Here is a picture of one of the phonics practice pages from Beginners 3.

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/VJjCVlXBck/resources/RhCsjSmhWs/Kid-Inspired%20ELL%20Beginners%20book%203%20%28full%20color%2935.png (Kid-Inspired ELL Beginners book 3 (full color)35.png)

The lists on these pages are quite short.

I learned this the hard way, through experimenting with lots of students over a lot of years.

Longer lists of words are fine for stronger students, but weaker students feel overwhelmed when looking at them.

Also, stronger students who can read all the words on a simple list are probably ready for simple texts instead of lists.

Use the short lists to help students master a new sound.

Once they have mastered that new sound, you can have them try longer lists of words, but they are probably going to be more motivated to reaad simple texts instead.

Question 7

What are Monitoring Forms?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Forms are commonly required by most schools in the United States for ELLs who are either in the ELL program or have exited it. Very often Former ELLs need to have monitoring forms completed about them by their content teachers for a period of up to 2 years after they have exited the program.

The Monitoring Forms included with the Kid-Inspired ELL Management Portal are there to help simplify this process for ELL teachers. For ELL teachers who need this functionality, you can invite colleagues, assign them to groups, and then schedule monitoring forms to be sent to those colleagues. Those colleagues can log into the platform and fill out the forms for the students in the group you assigned them. You can view all of the results as well as print reports.

Kid-Inspired Classroom is not responsible for state compliance though so be sure to know and understand the laws in your area in order to make sure you are complying by them.

Question 8

How do I assign students to a group?

Accepted Answer

When you create a group, you can add students to it on the same form.

You can also add students at any time by clicking on the Assign Students to a Group button or by visiting the Group Details page and adding students there. The Group Details page can be found by clicking on the Details button next to any group in the list of Groups.

Question 10

How do I add assessment results?

Accepted Answer

You can add assessment results by clicking on the Add Assessment Results button on the Assessments page.

There are a number of options available for adding assessment results. The goal is to be able to map all assessment results together on the same graph regardless of assessment type.

(Don't worry. You can of course also graph only results for a specific type as well by sorting by assessment type.)

Input basic assessment data.
Choose an assessment type: Kid-Inspired, WIDA, or Other.
Choose whether to use suggested standards or set your own standards. A score is created by dividing the score the student got in each language domain by the standard for that language domain on the assessment. For WIDA, for instance, the suggested standard is 4.5 since that is what is usually required for students to test out of LEP services. The standards for Kid-Inspired assessments differ for each assessment and those standards are added automatically if you select Use Suggested Standards.
You can change any of these details later on the assessments page.
The assessment results can be added to certain forms automatically as well at a later date.
**Tip: **After adding results, you'll get a button that allows you to load the form again with all of the options you previously selected already selected for you. This helps speed up the process of adding assessment results.
