Reading/Language/Spelling
This year, students will be learning cursive handwriting. It is always an exciting time!
Spelling is based on our reading series. There will be tests weekly and I encourage you to help your child practice these words. The pretest will be given on Monday, then the list sent home that afternoon.
For language, we will have time to write daily. They will be able to work at their own pace and create some wonderful stories! We will be writing in a story journal once a month. At the end of the year, you will get to look at how much your child has progressed!
Our reading series has a theme for each week. We will typically take a reading test once a week to help prepare your child for the state assessments.
Students will be given a benchmark test three times a year to see how their reading skills are developing. Based on the testing, your child will be placed in a small reading group to meet their individual reading needs. They will receive small group instruction approximately 30 minutes a day. During this time, your child may be placed in my group or with another adult.
