Our class has had, over the last few weeks, a "revolving door" experience with reading and math labs in the learning labs here at Reagan. I wanted to assure ALL parents that your child will only attend these labs if I've first notified you. However, after the first initial contact, your child could move in and out of lab as the professionals that work with you child see fit.
To ease your mind about how I'm hitting all of concepts with ALL students, I'm enriching reading
instruction during Reading Block with content
text such as non-fiction passages from Read to Succeed, Time For Kids, Social Studies and/or Science Weekly newspapers, Snapple Facts (see links), National Geographic, BrainPop Jr., and Raz-Kids.
Some of these resources are embedded within
literacy stations (small groups) each day, too, either individually or with the teacher or parent helper. These resources are leveled text pieces that will expose children to use different strategies
for different types of text.
All of these resources are important for providing non-fiction exposure to prepare students for IREAD 3 in the spring.
Happy Reading at home with your kids, too! Try to read different types of text: magazines, newspapers, online news, novels, picture books, etc. Listen to you read aloud is also KEY for raising a fluent reader!!!
