Reading Counts for May: .If your student did not pass a RC test in a month, they have this month to make up for that. I've let them all know who they are. If your student has taken and PASSED all 4 months, they do NOT have to take a RC test for the month of May. But CONTINUE to READ! ======

Comments: .These next few weeks are full of finishing things up for the end of the year. We have Field Trips, a Concert, and other activities planned. Make sure to look at the calendar that was sent home. There's a lot to remember! ======

Some students have been receiving packets that have a race car and graph on them. These are just for extra practice for reading fluency. They are NOT homework. They can be done this summer if you wish. What to do with them: Set a goal of Words Per Minute: (might start at 100) Set a timer for one minute and see how far your student reads. Count the words, and graph them on the front page. Keep doing the same reading until the goal is made. Once goal is met - Have student answer the 5 comprehension questions about the reading. They can look at the reading to answer the questions. Then move onto the next passage :) (Only do one timed reading a day)

Here is the link to check and see if a book is a Reading Counts book. Book Expert Online ======

Reading Counts Quizes. Each student is expected to read a book at their level, and take a quiz on that particular book. Students can retake the quiz up to 3 times to pass within the month. If students wait until our last computer lab day to take their quiz, they may not have an opportunity to retake the quiz if they do not pass. A passing grade is a 7/10 or higher. Students were given the expectations of Reading Counts before Christmas break. Happy Reading! (Use the Reading Counts book for their reading minutes each week) ======
