cooperatively identifying Sight Words on the iPad

Butterfly "iPad Read Words Learning Partners"
cooperatively identifying Read Words (sight words)
on the Sight Words iPad app
Individual Read Word (sight word) assessments were administered to identify "mastered" Read Words and to determine each student's "instructional" list for Read Word learning.

Utilizing the Read Word assessments, students were partnered relevant to their instructional list for Read Word learning.

A three column "iPad Read Words Learning Partner" chart was created. 
The initial column of the chart lists the iPads in numerical order (#1-#13).  The proceeding two columns include the student partner names (one student name in each column).  Between the two "iPad Read Words Learning Partners" names is a "box" listing the instructional Read Word list for the partners' learning focus.  Each "box" is labeled with the name of the list on the Sight Words app (for example: "LIST 2 orange") and is color coded to correlate to the color of the "box" on the app (for example: the text "LIST 2 orange" is in black font in an orange colored "box").

"iPad Read Words Learning Partners" reference the chart to identify the iPad for use, his/her Read Words Learning Partner, and the list for focus.  Partners cooperatively identify Read Words on their instructional list for individualized learning utilizing the Sight Words app on the iPad.

"iPad Read Words Learning Partners" will reflect the current Read Words instructional learning needs of each individual Butterfly reader.  Assessments will be administered every 3-4 weeks and utilized to identify "iPad Read Words Learning Partners".
