reading and writing at home
Reading instruction consists of five main areas:
- phonemic awareness
- phonics
- vocabulary
- fluency
- comprehension
Teachers have been working with students identifying their strengths and weaknesses in these five areas. Many students who are struggling in a specific area are being given interventions/activities from the Florida Center for Reading Research. This website offers activities to work on the 5 Big Ideas for reading skills for students in grades K-5. The website has these activities grouped for grades K-1, 2-3 and 4-5. I hope you will find the attached link both informational and useful in working with your children at home.
