Accelerated Reader
Please be sure you are asking your child to read every night for at least 20 minutes and sign their Reading Log. We are continuously working hard to meet our A.R. goals. Each child should be at 100% of their goal and 85% comprehension by the end of each marking period!
Spelling
Spelling practice should be done each week at home. Students will have a spelling test every Friday.
We are doing Words Their Way this year in room 7. This program will be based on each individual child's spelling needs. Therefore, not all students will have the same list of spelling words each week. Students will have the same words as others in the class working on the same word types. The spelling words will be based on spelling patterns. For example, long a sounds vs. short a sounds.
Reading Workshop
Your child will be taking part in reading workshop this year! This is a great reading program that allows students to work/read at their independent reading levels, while learning reading strategies that will help them to become even stronger readers! Students will take part in reading strategy lessons, interactive read alouds, roughly 30 minutes of silent reading in class, and 20 minutes of reading at home daily.
