Week of April 27th:
Hello! During this extraordinary time of distance learning, if you are in need of some additional Reading activities outside of your child's grade level tasks, I suggest having your student work on their oral reading fluency and comprehension.
Below are a few free resources that can help you accomplish your goal!
This website allows you to pick from a variety of books. They can read and listen to them. Then even take a comprehension quiz! It's great! You will have to create an account though but there is not cost to you.
Read Theory is an excellent free digital tool that provides individualized reading comprehension practice for your child (ALL GRADES).
