What is 1R?
Students reading at the 1R level can sit for 30 minutes and enjoy books.
At this level, students have built a massive bank of sight words.
1R readers are decoding three syllable words by using all the word solving strategies until each part of the word is figured out.
Your child is enjoying traditional tales, silly stories, poetry, and informational text.
1R readers are reading picture books that come in a series (Clifford, Amelia Bedelia) . These picture books contain the same characters and similar plot elements that get your child ready to move into chapter books at the 2R level.
