Reading Workshop (Becoming Experts: Sessions 4-6): Students are learning to work smarter, not harder! They will practice using text features (like the Table of Contents, headings, and index) to quickly locate the specific information they need. They'll also practice combining facts from different pages or sections of a book to create a deeper understanding of their topic.

Phonics Workshop: This week begins with an assessment on r-controlled vowels (like ar, or, ir, er, ur) to check for mastery. Following the assessment, we launch a new unit where the focus shifts to tackling long words. The first lesson, "Big Words Take Big Resolve," teaches students to break down unknown words into smaller, manageable chunks to solve them.

Be a Text Feature Tourist: When reading nonfiction books at home (or even magazines/websites), ask your child to use the Table of Contents to find a specific page before flipping through the book. Challenge them to find information on a topic using the Index at the back.

Synthesize Facts: After reading a few pages about a topic, ask your child to tell you three different facts they learned and how those facts connect to each other.

Tackle Big Words: When your child gets stuck on a long word while reading aloud, coach them to cover the word with their finger and uncover it one syllable or chunk at a time, encouraging them to try saying each piece until the whole word is clear.
