Reading class/ ESOL class
We spend this month working on released FCAT practice tests. Modeling how to find the answers to the questions is a priority this month.

Both classes continue to work on oral fluency so I selected reading selections from the Scope magazines. In addition, stories from Visions and READ XL complement the lessons. Vocabulary will be extracted from both areas.

Classes are online. In  Tumblereadables students work with sequence and non-fiction materials. Study Island and Kids College should be done at home for 15-20 minutes each night. These programs are a fun way to practice reading comprehension skills. In class I plan on explaining FOCUS - the program designed by the Department of Education.

Word Attack lessons are provided in the REWARDS class weekly.


Supplies recommended:
Wide ruled paper
One portfolio
Two pencils (sharpened before class begins)
Three pens (one black, one blue, one red)
A book or magazine (since this is reading class)
Student planner
Your character education responsibility grade will be effected if you DO NOT have these each day. Asking a classmate for supplies is not the same as being  responsible for your own.
