• There were not always enough computers available for online Duolog reading.
• Students often had problems scheduling out of class reading with their Duolog partner.

Using the SAT9 reading scores, teacher observations and the LR Reading Scale 3, Grades9-12, I found that the greatest improvement was from Literal to Somewhat Accomplished, and the Moderately Accomplished and the Accomplished readers evened out with an increase in
Accomplished readers.

The greatest reading improvements were at the two lowestlevels which was what I wanted. I would, however,change the amount of time allocated to Duolog reading.Two times a week was good, but more time was neededfor greater improvement. Next year I plan to have afterschool Duolog reading, using in class materials and onlinereading.

Summary
As a CTAP Mentor my greatest learning experience has been learning how to organize and implement workshop trainings for teachers. Also, using data from rubrics other than standardized test to monitor my students progress has also been very helpful. Learning to organize and use that data for student improvement will aid me for years to come.
