2026-2027 School Year:
Reading class focuses on decoding (sounding out words), encoding (spelling), fluency, and comprehension.
- Decoding: Different syllable types are taught to sound words out and spell them correctly. Reading real and nonsense words are practiced for specific syllable types or affixes (prefixes or suffixes).
- Fluency is practiced and assessed weekly using a combination of an online fluency program called Flow Fluency and another program called Six Minute Solutions. Students graph their progress each week to be aware of their growth.
- Comprehension is assessed bi-weekly and mini-lessons for comprehension are given bi-weekly also.
Overall reading skills are taught to assist students in all areas of their learning.
