In Reading AIS, instruction is differentiated to meet the needs of individual students to develop skills in the following areas:
Phonemic awareness
Phoneme-grapheme correspondence
Syllable types
Morphology
Fluency: reading with automaticity, accuracy, and prosody
Identify the genre and underlying text structures to support comprehension
Self-monitor comprehension; adapt or change the strategies you use as you read different kinds of texts or as you read for different purposes
Think analytically about the text using academic language
Communicate the most important ideas and information explicitly stated in the text in a summary
Make inferences about meaning based on the text, word, and/or world knowledge.
Grading Policy
AIS classes are meant to improve students' reading skills. Grading practices will follow a standards-based framework designed to provide direct feedback regarding students’ mastery of course content. Therefore they will receive a comment of (S) satisfactory or (U) unsatisfactory on students' quarterly reports.
Grading practices and guidelines will align with the outcomes of the course and the State’s learning standards.
You will need to participate to receive credit.
All work must be turned in on time for credit.
Do your best work and ask for help when needed.
