3- One Minute Reading Fluency. Lesson #2 ONLY from this link: Phonics Fluency Stories
This daily one-minute timed fluency reading will help your student become a fluent reader. It will also count as reading minutes. Time your student for one minute. Record the number of words they were able to read CORRECTLY in one minute.
*Want to save paper? Have your student read the passage online, then simply record their CORRECT words read/minute each day on their spelling homework form.
4- Reading: 20 minutes/day or a total of 100 minutes/week:
RECORD YOUR READING MINUTES ON THE “BOOK IT” READING LOG located in your student’s green folder.
***There are several sources for reading: “Reading for all Learners” also known as”Baggy Books,” books from the school library, books from home, as well as the public library. Students may also use our online reading program Raz-Kids. Our class Raz-Kids login is: dvella0 (That’s a zero)
***IMPORTANT BAGGIE BOOK REMINDER… Replacement of any lost or damaged books will be the responsibility of the student/family. Please take care of them.
Books are to be returned daily in the plastic bag, then, placed inside their green homework folder. In order for your student to pass off each book, they must have fewer than 3 mistakes/book. They must also have a parent, guardian, or volunteer signature on the reading log.
Don’t forget about reading comprehension! Understanding what you are reading is just as important as being a fluent reader!!! PLEASE use these Re-Tell Ropes whenever you are reading with your student checking for understanding. THIS HELPS STUDENTS PREPARE FOR OUR LANGUAGE ARTS WORK ON FRONT ROW AND DIBELS TEST COMPREHENSION.
