GROW - DREAM - LEARN - SUCCEED




WELCOME TO THE PRESCRIPTIVE INSTRUCTION LAB
This web page is to keep you informed of what your child is doing in the PI Lab. I am committed to helping your child achieve success in reading, math, and writing. The students are working hard to meet their goal to be on grade level or above. I keep a folder on every child. Please feel free to make an appointment to come by and view your child's folder.


We are on a Journey to Success this year
to be our personal best!

"Success is happiness in your heart!



PI Lab News
----Prescriptive Instruction is a web based and up to date learning program. Before they begin, students are given an assessment in Math and Reading. Students are assessed on several objectives in Math and Reading. The program then prescribes the student a lesson path according to their level. The lessons are aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. At the end of the school year, students will be assessed again to see how much growth they have made.
----This year my job will be a little different from the past. I am inclusion only with 4th & 5th grade for Math. In 3rd grade, I will be inclusion and pullout for both Reading & Math.
----Be sure to check out some of the educational links at the bottom of this page. You will find lots of games, printables, NC resources, practice EOG samples, math games, reading games and the Prescriptive Instruction Website.
--Please practice multiplication facts at home with your child. Knowing these facts is a valuable key to their future math success.
--Also, make sure your child is reading every night. Allow them to read to you and also read aloud to your child. No matter how old they are, they still enjoy being read to.
Reading Questions to Check Comprehension
1. Before you begin reading have your child look at the title and cover, then make predictions of what they think the story is about. 2. Who are the characters in the story? 3. Where and when does your story take place (the setting)? 4. What is the problem in the story and how is it being solved? 5. Does the story remind you of another story, something in your life, or something in the world (making connections)? 6. Why do you think the author chose to write this book? 7. Find a word and ask your child to use context clues to find the meaning. 8. What is the genre (style of writing) of your book?
--Every other week, my students take turns using the Lightspan program. These are reading, math, and writing related games they play on the playstation.
--Students will be assessed on high frequency words. Third grade are assessed on 300 words, fourth grade 400 words and fifth grade 500 words. They need to be able to read and spell the word and use it in a sentence.
