Students will have a read to self station every day Monday through Thursday.
On either Thursdays or Fridays, I will meet with them individually to check in with them on what they are reading. They will need to bring their book and we will discuss what they've read.
We will be keeping track of books they're reading so that I can ensure they are reading.
Instead of a list of spelling words, your child will learn 1-2 root words or affixes a week. Students will be given the root, the meaning of the root and 10 words that have the root in it. They will practice with this all week. On Friday, they will take a quiz where they have to identify the meaning of some of the words off the list.
Since this is something we practice in class, they shouldn't have to study at home!
Students will be expected to complete work independently during station time. To keep them on task and ensure they are pushing themselves, they will have to complete a checklist each week. If they do not finish it at the end of the week, they will have to work on it during our Fun Friday time. It will be for a grade every week. The checklist includes:
Two iReady lessons with a score of 80% or higher
Two lessons for ReadWorks with a score of 80% or higher
Four IXL lessons assigned to review from the previous week
One reading check in with me
