Guided Reading

The students are divided into small groups based on their reading level and work on reading fluency and comprehension skills.

Making Meaning

This program focuses on building reading comprehension. We read a book aloud and the students discuss the book in partners.

Being A Writer

Throughout the year, we will be looking a books and analyzing the way the author expresses their ideas. The students will then use what they learned in their own writing.

Spelling

The students will study sound, spelling patterns, syllable patterns, word structure, and word meanings. The program is designed to provide differentiated instruction to meet each student's individual needs.
