Reading Support
  • AR Book Finder  (Accelerated Reader): This online database of books gives a Book Level to help you find books that are just right.  The Book Level gives an approximate grade level based on the vocabulary and difficulty. (Example BL 4.3 means an average reading for a grade 4 student of 3 months)  Type in the title or author to see the BL of the novel or story book.
  • Your Next Read: This site helps to give suggestions for books to read based on a novel that you've enjoyed.
  • Reader's theater is a great way to practice reading fluency.  Check out some of these websites for scripts:  teaching heart   stories to grow by

Spelling - Students will receive their word list on Monday when we do a pretest.  If they are not at school for the pretest then they can get a copy when they return.  All of the words for the year, as well as the weekly homework assignment list,  is also available here by following the link. 
  • Spelling Assignment List - Along with studying their words, students have one short brain activity to complete using their word list.   The assignment due is printed on the page in the spelling duotang, but if that doesn't make it home, you can always see the assignment list here too!
