The goal of "The First 20 Days of Reading" Fountas and Pinnell model is to lay the groundwork for the reading and thinking strategies we want readers to utilize throughout the year as students transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." As you begin your third grade school year, we recommend watching one video link per day with your child to build upon the concepts introduced from day one to twenty! These concepts will better prepare students for class connect sessions as you join us on this third grade journey of becoming better readers and thinkers!
