Guided Reading

Guided Reading has started this week in our Grade 1-6 classrooms.  This is an opportunity for students to read in small groups with others who read at the same level.  The books are "good fit" books that will challenge students but not frustrate them.  Students will also move up into different reading groups as their skills improve so don't be alarmed if they mention that they have been moved to a different Guided Reading group.

Part of our Guided Reading program this year involves RAZ Kids.  This is a computer program designed to help students improve their reading skills.  Each student has their own account and will be reading books at their level.  Students earn points/stars for listening and reading books, and also for answering comprehension questions afterwards.

Students will be using this program during Guided Reading times in the computer lab.  For this time to be most effective students require headphones/earbuds.  If your child does not currently have headphones/earbuds, please send them as soon as possible.

Thank you and happy reading!
