Hello Families -
Listed below are some reading intervention programs that your child has access to from visiting me during the week for their W.I.N. time! Feel free to work within these platforms as much as your child can. This is an enrichment page to help keep students engaged in the reading process throughout this difficult time. Click on either the picture or the bold underlined words to be taken directly to the website.
W.I.N. (What I Need) Time is very important. If you can spend 15-20 minutes, four times a week, on one of the programs listed below, this would be wonderful. If you finish a story, treat yourself to one of the programs on my front "Reading Ideas" page. These resources are fun! Maybe save this time for Fridays, or your extra day of the week for WIN time! Good luck and if you need any help, please email me at KWoelber@hayward.k12.wi.us
Read Live Home Page - Students in Mrs. Woelber's 3rd grade classes have used Read Live daily this entire school year. Students can log into the program as a student and get to work. I am working to add parents that want to take advantage of this program with their own password and the ability to test students on required red screens. Your child knows exactly what to do on these screens and can walk you through this the first time. I have taken off the first red screen, which is the "cold timing" screen, so students can now do this on their own. However, parents will need to use a log-in to finish a story when it gets to the final red screen, the final reading, and the correcting of the missed questions in order to move on to another story. I will provide parents with clear directions on how to use this log-in in an email to you. The email will include your log-in and clear instructions on how to use the program. Upon your first log-in, you will see a series of videos that the program administrators have provided to also help you in this website. This program is a wonderful program for your students to practice all reading/writing skills. I hope you can find time to take advantage of this. This sounds overwhelming, but your own child will know what to do once in the program. A plug for this program is that it is adjustable to the reading level of your student, so if the work from the classroom seems hard, this is a wonderful outlet to have students continue to grow in reading skills at their own level.
Ticket To Read - Students in Mrs. Woelber's 3rd grade classes are also familiar with Ticket 2 Read. This program functions much like the above Read Live; however, as Read Live contains mostly non-fiction reading, T2R encompasses both fiction and non-fiction, and it has other games associated with reading prep skills. I remind students to keep working on getting tickets so that they can spend them in their clubhouse. The clubhouse is the rewarding part of this program, and if they don't work hard to earn tickets, they won't have anything to use within the clubhouse to make it exciting. Good luck, kiddos, and happy reading!
FRECKLE: This resource is tied to our STAR (math/reading) assessments and could be a great resource for students. This program has math, reading, science, and social studies in it. I believe that it is set up much like the compass program students are used to working with, but I really like the format and engagement that students have within it. They can pick and choose activities and earn their way through learning!
NOTE: At times the link posted here will show The previous page is sending you to https://student.freckle.com/#/login. Just click on that link within the page and it will redirect you, I'm not sure why it keeps defaulting to this. It's a Freckle issue.
CompassLearning - This website is a skills review site. All children in the Hayward Intermediate School have log-ins and have been using this for support within their daily classroom routine. Remember to visit this program if you are looking for something different for the day!!!
