Reading & Vocabulary
My main goal in reading is to help each student develop strong reading skills, a love of reading, and to discover a variety of favorite authors. Many opportunities will be provided for students to select literature of their own choice.
Students will read a story from our Harcourt Basal series on a weekly basis and will have vocabulary/skills packets due by Thursday. The children will be expected to take AR tests throughout the school year and on a weekly basis they will take the AR test that accompanies the weekly Harcourt story. Every Friday we will have a vocabulary quiz on the words from Monday's packet. Students will also make a monthly AR point goal.
