Reading • Anthology series is Harcourt Trophies. • Shared Reading is done in a whole group setting. • Guided Reading is individualized into small groups to meet students’ specific needs. • Working with words gives students time to practice phonemics and spelling patterns.
Guided Reading • Mrs. Mirabelli (reading specialist), Mrs. Bram and I will meet with heterogeneous and homogeneous groups throughout the week. • Students will meet in a small group every day Monday through Thursday. • During guided reading students will work on practicing the strategies taught in shared reading.
Centers • Centers are independent, literacy related work. • Students complete centers when they are not meeting with a teacher during guided reading time. • Students are expected to do their best work on their centers. • Centers will be graded depending on the number of points they are worth.
Working with Words/Spelling • Almost every Monday students will bring home a new spelling list with a particular rule. • Each list will also have a few high frequency words included. • On Friday there will be a spelling test. • We will practice the words during the week but you should also practice the words at home every night.
