Dear Families,

I have provided my AIS students with a variety of supplemental activities that they can do in order to maintain their literacy skills. Everything I am posting is free and I have tried to provide directions on how to sign-up and access these resources. I understand that your child will have work to complete with their classroom teacher and please know that I am here to help. I will have office hours each day from 1:00-2:00pm. The easiest way to reach me is through email. I will try and respond promptly during my office hours. However, I will also check my email periodically throughout the day. Your child's classroom lessons will begin on Friday, April 3rd. I have aligned myself with each teacher's Google Classroom so that I can see and help my students as best that I can. Be well and safe.

Warmly,

Mrs. Taylor

iReady

Please use iReady as a way for your child to progress with their ELA skills. Click on the link below.

Remember- your child's login is usually the first letter of their first name (uppercase letter), then their lunch number/student ID number, and then the first letter of their last name (uppercase letter). No spaces in between.

iReady is aligned with your child's individualized instructional needs and is great starting off point.

Leveled Readers to use at home...

Another link I have provided is for decodable texts to access at home. Please click on the link below. This website has a ton of resources for parents to use with their reader. Email me if you don't know your child's current reading level. I will be happy to share that with you.

This website provides ELA instruction in various ways. Your child can listen to a book, read a book, or watch a video.

Directions:

I have made all of my students Level 1 because I think that all of the texts and activities are best suited for my students.

Each of my students has their own profile so be sure that you select your child's name.

In addition... I have other resources on my website that you can refer to. This would include high-frequency sight words and trick words to practice. Your child can practice reading and writing them for better fluency.
