Although individual results vary, some students have improved by two grade levels in one year.

We are currently finishing Workshop 2 - When Disaster Strikes!   

*Ask your student about the impact of Natural Disasters.*  
*They have wonderful opinions and insight.*  

We will be using the topic of natural disasters to study new vocabulary and sharpen Sequence skills.

Homework - Each student should read outside of school for at least 20 minutes 3 times weekly.

"I don't like to read books" 
Try newspapers and magazines. They are shorter and current topics and events can spark your interest.    

     

Get Caught . . .

Encouraging your student to read everyday and talking about what they are reading will reinforce the skills we are working on. Also, be a good role model. Let them catch you with a book or magazine and talk about what you are enjoying.
