In completing my students' F & P (fountas and pinnell) testing, I found it quite easy to discover which CAFE strategy (comprehension, accuracy, fluency, expand vocabulary) each of my grade 2's needed. For example, I have one little boy who performed at a very high accuracy level on a levelled test, but had very poor comprehension. My question though is this, once this little boy is done working on "checking for understanding", do I continue to progress through each of the comp. strategies? Meaning, if I do not observe any new skills (besides comp.) that need to be worked on do I simply stick with all comp strategies? Thanks!!
