YOU DO NOT NEED TO RETURN THE FLUENCY PASSAGE
1st- Using a yellow crayon or high lighter, have your student highlight each word in the passage they can read correctly without any help FLUENTLY.
2nd- Go back through the passage and have a “Good Conversation” about the words they were unsure of or didn’t know. Talk about what strategies good readers use to problem solve/figure out the word. Here are a few suggestions…CVC if there is only one vowel, it USUALLY make the short vowel sound, CVCe-is there an /e/ at the end of the word that makes the first vowel say it’s name. Is there a vowel team that follows the rule…When vowel teams go a walking, the first one USUALLY does the talking such as ee, ea, ai, oa, etc. Are there words within words like “ants” at the end of elephants…”and” in the word land…Go over the fact that they can skip the word and use the content of the sentence to help them figure out what the word is.
3rd- Lastly, Time them for ONE, one minute timing each day. Their accuracy/fluency should increase each time they read the sentences.
WE are looking for how many words they are reading correctly out of how many they read and then what they can retell.
3.-*NEW* Language Arts RAZ KIDS - As a first grade, we have decided to add RAZ KIDS for our LA homework. Please watch our BLOG and DOJO to know when the student accounts are activated. I’m so sorry for the delay with getting the kids on Raz Kids. I have had some issues with my account, and have been working with A-Z learning to rectify the issue. I can now access my account. I am in the middle of setting the kids reading level etc. I should have it up and running tomorrow.
- Each Friday I will pull an online report showing student usage for the week and their comprehension scores for the quizzes they have taken.
- This weeks PHONICS FOCUS: We will focus on /oo/ and /u/ sounds spelled good, stood and pull.
