Important Information
Reading: Students should be reading a minimum or 15-20 minutes from a book on their independent reading level every day in order to improve their fluency as well as comprehension. Students will greatly benefit from you asking them comprehension questions regarding the characters, setting, key events, theme, main idea, and plot/solution of their stories.
I will be sending more information home in the future for anyone interested in volunteering either during Math (9:45-10:20) or during Reading/Daily 5 ( 1:45-2:30)
