YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE YOUR CHILD READ PASSAGES ONLINE. YOU CAN ALSO USE SHEET PROTECTORS AND DRY ERASE MATH TIMINGS TO SAVE ON PAPER. The homework tracker is for tracking minutes, number of math facts completed, and the phonics fluency story timing. 1. Reading (20-30 minutes every day!)2. Word Sorts3. Spelling
4. Math
Each week, print out the homework-tracker which is found here This form does NOT need to be printed or turned in for credit during weeks that we are doing ONLY READING homework. PLEASE right your child’s name at the top of this tracker. 
Your child is required to read 20 minutes every night. This could include Raz Kids, reading books at home or our fluency passage. Here is the link to your child’s phonics-fluency-stories sheet. Please print Lesson 10 and have your child read it each night. Time them for 1 minute and have them read as many words as they can. If they get to the bottom they will go back to the top and continue reading until the 1 minute is up. Soon I will have some students doing harder passages based on where they get with reading buddies coming up. This is just to start getting into a routine.
Your child should now have a fluency passage in their blue folder. If not I sent one home with them this week without the blue folder. PLEASE make sure your child is bringing their blue folder everyday to school. I will switch out passages weekly if they return them. These passages are another resource for reading but I am asking that you have them read it at least 3 times a week.
They need to be timed for 1 minute and then using their retell ropes (in back of sheet protector) to tell you as much as they can about the story. I do not have extra retell ropes so please have your child keep track of it. After the week I will switch out their passages and get a new one. We practiced this three times today so they should know how to do it. You do not need to record the timing anywhere.
Here is the word sort to print : 1-10-sheet1
PLEASE THROW AWAY THE GUIDE WORD THAT SAYS CHALLENGE ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING WORDS: I feel as though these words are too challenging and not necessary for the time being. We did this new type of sort in class last week and they should know how to do it.
