Ms. Broad's Reading Class
An update about what is going on in your child's world
We have had many exciting activities going on in reading class over the past few weeks. Please take a moment to read about them!
"Whooo's Reading is an online platform that empowers educators with actionable data to manage students' independent reading."
Students were very excited to explore the site this week. Every time they are active on it, Whooo's Reading rewards them with virtual wisdom coins that they can use to decorate their "Owlvatar". Ask your child to see theirs!
Requirements for each week:
- Log at least 100 minutes of pleasure reading.
- Respond to at least one writing prompt.

"Newsela provides teachers, parents, and students with over 1,000 current event articles scaled at five different Lexile reading comprehension levels."
After reading a selected article, students take a four question quiz to assess their comprehension. Students have learned to find evidence to support their answers, highlight unfamiliar vocabulary words, and highlight novel information.
