Week 3 of Unit 1 ARC Literacy Lab – Most students began (or will soon begin) the 100 Book Challenge. They started logging reading practice at school. The goal is for students to read independently for up to 30 minutes at school.
Week 4 of Unit 1 ARC Literacy Lab - Home Coaching Contracts – We need your support with at-home reading. This week, or very soon, your child’s teacher will be sending home the Home Coach Contract. (Link to view contracts Grade K-1 or All Grades).
- Please read, sign, and return this contract to school.
- Next week, at-home reading will officially begin.
- Students will be encouraged to read approximately 30 minutes at home.
Week 5 of Unit 1 ARC Literacy Lab - At-home reading Begins– A blue At-home Reading bag will begin coming home with books on your child reading level, skills card, and log sheet. The skills cards tell you what your child can do and how you can help your child at home.
- Please find the link to the IRLA Skills Cards – Guide for Families.
- Please verify At-home reading by signing the log sheet and returning it to school each day with all of the materials.
- Sample log sheets that can be used to track at-home reading - Read to Me, 20-line logsheet, Fall-themed logsheets.
