My class is using DRA reading levels this year. You can look online and convert the levels to F&P levels if needed. While I send some books home, I wanted to give parents a few more resources to use.

Once they meet the monthly goal, they receive a Book It certificate.

This is an activity I use in my writing center. The children use the word wall and the classroom to find words to write. On the left side they write the word in pencil. On the right side they write the word in colored pencil. They choose different colors and write over the word (overlapping colors) until it looks like a "rainbow."

Is your school getting ready for in-school learning? Will your students be having a socially-distance outdoor recess? How do we have outdoor recess with masks, remaining six feet apart, and not using playground equipment and shared outdoor equipment? We got this! Families should prepare a recess bag. Attached you will find a letter for families as they prepare for the new school year. If your school is preparing for remote learning, you can still encourage parents to create a space for a break

This is a great way for you to assess your students. In class, you can have this as a task at centers. Students can read through the words as they record themselves on their device. During remote learning, students can read through the words as their parents record them. Then parents just upload the recording onto your learning platform.
