Instructional Materials: 

We will be using the Read 180 curriculum (link) in class this year. READ 180 is the leading blended learning intervention program building reading comprehension, academic vocabulary, and writing skills. Students will also be reading articles and answering questions through Achieve 3000 on their computers. Genre study books will be assigned once per month, on average, from library visits. Students will read and/or listen to a book and answer a few questions.

GRADING POLICY

The following grading system is used throughout our school:

90 – 100 = A             80 – 89 = B          70 – 79 = C       60 – 69 = D    0 – 59 = F

I = Incomplete    NG = No Grade    WP = Withdrawn Pass    WF = Withdrawn Fail

Homework Expectations:

Homework expectations: Students are expected to read for at least half an hour each day outside of reading class (or two and a half hours each week). The homework options are printed and sent home in a reading folder. They are also posted in Google Classroom. 

Also, when genre studies are assigned from the library, students will be working on reading a specific book and answering questions mostly on their own time but can use that reading as their homework.
