Each week we will start a reading story from our reading series, Wonders, and will finish the week with a reading quiz on Friday. This is not a test they must study for since we spend a lot of time in class on the material. We will also spend time each week in reading groups to continue working on skills from the story and on leveled readers. A few times a year we will read novels and the students will participate in literature circles to teach the students how some of their reading skills carry over to books they can find in the library.
Students can use the Wonders Reading website to listen to the reading story from that week and study the vocabulary words from the story. The students have their login information on a bright color notecard in the back of their assignment notebook. If you need the login information throughout the year, please contact me and I can send it to you.

Book-It ProgramSeptember - April your child can participate in our Book -It program. Calendars are sent home at the beginning of each month and due at the beginning of the following month. If your child reads throughout the month & completes the calendar, they will be awarded a Pizza Hut Pizza coupon. These coupons will be in their Friday folder after the calendar is turned in.
