Reading Conferences allow elementary school (K-5) teachers to easily keep track of each students Fountas & Pinnell reading levels and reading conferences.

We came up with the simple concept of a student "Card" that shows student data at a glance.
The cards allow teachers to quickly see:
1.The current reading levels of their students.
2.If a student is Exceeding, Meeting, Approaching or Below Standards by color coded reading levels.
3.When they met with a student for a reading conference. 
4.Which students need to have a reading conference by the color coded reading conference date.
5.What the current goal of each student current is.

The Cards also allow teachers to:
1.Sort students by reading level and quickly create reading groups. 
2.Sort students by when they last had a reading conference to know who needs a conference next.
3.Sort students by first or last name.
