We’re not talking about one year, we’re not talking about two years we are talking about three years of learning loss,” said Principal Angelia Coleman.

“You can see the evidence of that learning loss due to the pandemic. Students are pulled out of class every school day for the sessions with Lobbes and, on Tuesdays, four student teachers from Ferris State University. The purpose is to provide consistent and continuous sessions to help close learning gaps that widened during the pandemic. Kentwood Public Schools began a pilot “high-dosage” tutoring effort in February at Townline that provides one-on-one daily tutoring focused on reading fluency for 14 third-graders. Nazier Townsend reacts to reading so many words - 160 - during tutoring The game went on until the session ended - Nazier gaining points, fluency and confidence. Then, Nazier drew eight and read eight more. He followed the section with another 40-word paragraph and then - with a beaming smile - added 40 tally marks to his scorecard.Īfter that, Lobbes drew seven and read her words. “Let’s start with 40.” She pointed to a paragraph on a worksheet where she had counted out 40 words. “He’s really going to beat me!” Lobbes said. Nazier had chosen several Draw Two cards in a row, ending his previous session with 84 words to read. They get a point for each word they read, and whoever has the most points in the end wins. For whatever number they pull, they have to read that many words.

It works like this: He and Lobbes take turns drawing cards. Nazier, who was struggling to focus during tutoring, came up with the game to make the sessions more fun. The once reluctant reader was excited to take on the dozens of words he tallied up to read during a game he invented all on his own. “We have to read 84 words!” Nazier reminded Lobbes. He had unfinished business from the day before.
