Reading Assessments • MAP • Running Records • STAR Test- AR Levels (see packet) • AIMS Web Fluency Test Reading Levels • Independent Level Self selected books Accelerated Reader • Instructional Level Small Group Reading Instruction • Frustration Level Use the “5 Finger” Test to avoid this level. All of these assessments give me information that helps create and adjust for small group instruction.

  7. Shared Reading • Program called “Making Meaning” • Builds a community of readers • Frequent opportunities for students to discuss ideas about what they are reading with other students • Daily Mini Lessons come from this program or other resources • About 30 minutes of time to read each day.

  8. While the students are reading and writing independently, what does the teacher do? • Individual Conferring • Small Strategy Groups • Guided Reading/Writing Groups

  9. Reading Every Day is the Key! How do you get better at reading? It boils down to a simple, two-part formula: • The more you read, the better you get at it; the better you get at it, the more you like it; and the more you like it, the more you do it. • And the more you read, the more you know; and the more you know, the smarter you grow. -Jim Trelease • 20-30 minutes of SSR here at school each day • 15 minutes of reading at home- Thank You!

  10. Thank you for coming! I look forward to a wonderful year with your children! Please turn in any paperwork, and I will pass it along for you.
