As we settle into spring, our Title 1 literacy groups have become very specific. We work hard on trying to fill in any missing knowledge students may be missing before they move on to the next grade. Through close conversations with the classroom teacher, as well as notes taken when students read, the instruction is now very specific to individual needs of each student. Even though we always strive to teach what students need, at this time of year the focus almost becomes hyper-focused on what students still need to learn.
As the weather gets warmer, please remember to read, read, read. You don't get to the Olympics in your sport, or the VSO with your instrument by only practicing once in a while. It is the same way with reading. There is only one way to get better at reading, and it is very simple. Lots of practice!
