Reading Materials • The Reader’s Notebook has two parts, “MyLearning” and “My Independent Reading”. • Any assignments that are sent home will have guidance in the Reader’s Notebook to refer to.
Benchmarking The students will be benchmarked in order to identify their levels for independent reading and instructional reading. This will lead to children reading what they “can” read and comprehend independently. Teacher’s guidance through small group instruction will help the child reach the next level.
Just Right Books! • Currently in the process of Benchmarking each student to find their reading level. • Books that students read for independent reading must be on their reading level • Students become better readers by reading a lot of books! The more they read the better reader they will become!
