Today the reading textbook was issued to the students. You should start seeing them come home on Monday. They will have assignments through the week such as defining vocabulary words, reading the weekly story and answering questions at the end of the story. These assignments should be completed in their readers notebook. They will have a vocabulary test on Fridays along with a weekly test on the reading focus for the week.
Your child should be able to tell you what we are focusing on in reading each week. They should have an anchor lesson in their readers notebook so you can see the focus for the week.
A reminder...students should still be reading one chapter a day and logging it in on their reading log. They received their first grade in their reading folder today. They are graded on a rubric or guide.
Students earn an A by reading everyday and logging in according to the log. For example right now they are making predictions.
Students earn a B by missing 1 or 2 days or not logging in correctly. For example summarizing when they should be making predictions
Students earn a C by missing 3 or 4 days or having vague details when logging in the reading log.
Students earn a D by missing 5 days or only logging in title date but no thinking or details about the book.
Students earn an F by not logging in at all or turning in an illegible log.
Students should be reading a chapter book working toward their 30 book standard.
Hope you have a great weekend! Until next time, R.O'Steen
