READING

Students will have their weekly reading test on Thursdays.  They will bring 
home their readers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights to review the 
story and vocabulary lesson and any other pages done in the big blue 
workbook.

Because of Pearson Reading Street--the new reading series which is related 
to common core, there will be some weekly tests that will have the weekly 
vocab. words in it, but the comprehension story will be different than the 
story they read for the week.  The reason for this is--because on the Terra 
Nova tests they are reading stories that they are not familiar with and the 
students need to get used to reading them.

However, the comprehension skill will be realted to the story.

All students have received a user name and password that will allow them to 
have access to their reader and weekly reading and grammar activities that 
are related to the weekly story.  Also I am planning to assign another short 
story that goes with the weekly story.  Please pay attention to the TO DO 
button.  If there is a problem, go to tools--then options---and remove pop 
up blockers.

All students must accomplish their on line Reading assignments.  This is a 
required assignment and the students will receive a homework grade for this assignement.
