Read Every Night

-Details:

   Please make sure your child reads something each night. The practice of reading at home will greatly impact your child's learning in the classroom. Please have them read by themselves, you read with them, and/or you read to them. After reading, please ask your child questions about the story or text they read. This helps build comprehension skills that will also greatly benefit your child's learning at school. 

 

Write in a journal/diary every night

-Details:

 Please make sure your child practices writing at home. If you can, please allow them to practice typing on the computer as well. To help with writing, please ask your child questions and have them write down/type their answers. For example: tell me about your day, tell me about the book you are reading, let's write a story..., etc..

 

Literacy Block

Handwriting/Cursive-

-students will complete a daily handwriting/cursive lesson as soon as they come in and get settled. 

 

Familiar Reading-

-Each child has a familiar reading tub with books on their level. Students participate in repeated oral reading of known texts to apply and practice the use of decoding skills recently taught and to develop fluency with known spelling patterns and sight words. 

 

Word Study

 

"Word study" is an alternative to traditional spelling instruction. It is abased on learning word patterns rather than memorizing unconnected words. 

 

Reading Workshop

teacher read aloud:  I will select a book,poem, or text and read it aloud to the class in a whole group setting. During this time, I will model for the students' best practices in reading. This is a time where students are actively listening and taking note of the stratgies I use and apply them while he/she reads.
