Reading practice makes perfect! We will be reading independently each day during our reading block. During our independent reading time, students will be expected to read silently while applying the lesson/strategy that we have been learning in class while also working on their individual reading goals. The teacher will meet with students independently and in small groups to assist them in setting and working towards individual goals specific to their needs.
