Many of you have been asking for more challenging books, and today you get them. I have finished assessments for the First Progress Report of the year, and have also leveled the students for Reading. I factored in their initial reading proficiency level, their ability to track words 1-to-1, and their knowledge of Sight Words. The children were "buddied" up in groups of 3 or 4, and given a set of 5 books to begin with. Each time they can read the book by themselves, they will sign off on their record sheet. When they can read to you without any errors, and can answer comprehension questions correctly, then you sign them off. Finally they read to me, and when I sign them off they get new books. When a team can finish all of their books, then they each get a prize from the prize box. The book bags are to stay in their backpacks when they are not in use, that way they can read the books at school and at home. I started this program last year and had great success with it.
Thank you for all the continued support and happy reading!!
