What’s New…..
I am including two short summaries about our new literacy initiatives. This is to help you inform parents that are asking or to let them know of new things that we are doing.

95% Group:
K,1,2
The Phonics Chip Kit helps teachers explain phonics patterns using manipulatives and sound spelling mapping. Students will direct their attention to individual sounds in words and analyze their spelling patterns.

3-4
Decoding multisyllabic words is an essential skill that has a direct impact on reading accuracy, fluency, and the comprehension of text. The task of decoding or pronouncing longer words is often a challenge for many students in grades 3 and above. The Multisyllable Phonics Routines are designed to help students solve the mystery of multisyllabic words by recognizing patterns, identifying correct vowel sounds, and applying syllable division rules.

Lexia:
Lexia Reading Core5 provides explicit and personalized learning. Lexia provides students immediate corrective feedback, multiple levels of scaffolding, and explicit instruction both online and through direct instruction with the teacher. Students will work independently to develop reading skills to build fluency and comprehension with complex text.

Dates: Misc.
Fast window: Sept. 7- Oct. 2 (If you let me know when you are testing I can come help in your room so you can focus on the student you are administering the assessment to.)
