  1. Welcome to Fremont Jr. High Reading RD 54/RD 55 Reading and Linguistics IV/V

  2. Objectives • Increase student achievement by strengthening decoding skills, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, and writing • Teach the 2010ELAS Common Core Standards

  3. Reading Placement 7th Grade students are placed according to various types of data. This data includes: 5th grade AIMS scores 6th grade Acuity and DRP scores 6th grade teacher recommendations (fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and overall grade level reading abilities) 8th Grade students are placed according to their 7th grade AIMS, DRP post-test, and Acuity C scores.

  4. Course Flexibility • Students’ progress will be monitored throughout the school year (DRP Pretest, Acuity Testing, Classroom Assessments, Teacher Recommendations). • Any student who shows growth towards grade level reading and writing proficiency will be given an elective in place of Reading and Linguistics.

  5. What is Reading and Linguistics? • Reading and Linguistics is a two semester course designed to increase reading and writing skills of students who are not at a proficient level • The main curriculum focus is reading/writing from a variety of texts and supplemental materials.

  6. Materials and Resources • Language! • Junior Scholastic Magazine • Study Island (a web-based interactive reading program)

  7. Staying Informed • Planners- will have any homework assignments and due dates for major tests/projects • MyMPS- will have grades posted as well as attendance records • Teacher Website Calendars- will have classroom topics and major due dates

  8. Homework • Students will occasionally have homework - if assignments are not completed during class time. Check your child’s planner for any homework assignments. • Students should be reading a book at their independent reading level as often as time permits. • Research shows that students who read outside of school do better during school and on standardized tests.

  9. Grading Policy • Students total grade will be made up of assessments and assignments. • Assessments will be weighted at 80% and classwork at 20%. • Students may redo any assessment as long as they have received additional instruction.

  10. Make-up Policy • Students have two days for every one day missed (excused absence) to make up assignments and still receive full credit. • If the assignment is turned in late points will be deducted. • Students have until the end of the quarter to turn in missing work. • It is the student’s responsibility to ask for and turn in missing assignments.
