WELCOME TO READ180

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A WONDERFUL YEAR!

SUPPLIES-I WILL BE SUPPLYING EACH STUDENT WITH ALL THE MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CLASS. THIS WILL INCLUDE NOTEBOOKS, FOLDERS, PENCILS. 

 HOWEVER, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR EACH STUDENT TO BRING IN A SMALL TOTEBAG TO CARRY THEIR CHROMEBOOKS AND OTHER SUPPLIES TO AND FROM CLASS.

READ180 IS A COMPUTER BASED READING PROGRAM. IT INCLUDES WHOLE/SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION, STUDENT APPLICATION, AND INDEPENDENT READING ON A DAILY BASIS. 

THE WORK ON THE STUDENT APPLICATION INCLUDES A PERSONALIZED PATH WHICH ACCELERATES LEARNING. READ180 FOLLOWS THE CORE CURRICULUM STANDARDS FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL.

INDEPENDENT READING

IT IS YOUR CHILD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE 2 BOOKS WITH THEM EVERYDAY; AT LEAST ONE BOOK BEING A CHAPTER BOOK. THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE BOOKS FROM OUR CLASS LIBRARY ONCE A WEEK, ALONG WITH BOOKS FROM OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY. STUDENTS MAY ALSO BRING BOOKS FROM HOME. HOWEVER, PLEASE MAKE SURE THE BOOKS ARE ON THEIR READING LEVEL. YOU WILL FIND YOUR CHILD'S LEXILE IN THEIR PLANNERS. YOU MAY ALSO VISIT LEXILE.COM TO CHECK OUT THE LEXILE OF A BOOK IF IT IS NOT LEVELED.

HOMEWORK

READ180 STUDENTS WILL NEED TO READ FOR 20 MINUTES DAILY. THEY MAY READ INDEPENDENTLY OR WITH A PARENT. IT IS IMPORT FOR THEM TO FILL OUT THEIR WEEKLY LOG AND GET A PARENT'S SIGNATURE. LOGS ARE DUE EVERY 2 WEEKS.

MOST OFTEN, NO WRITTEN HOMEWORK WILL BE GIVEN AS ALL SPELLING WORK IS COMPLETED ON THE COMPUTER.
