Reading Classroom Changes

RtI Update

Last week we completed our winter reading benchmarking and this week the data was reviewed and analyzed. Beginning Tuesday, January 20th many students will be changing reading classrooms. If your child is changing rooms, a letter is being sent home with them today. Students needing more interventions will receive two letters. The changes are based on the progress and/or needs of the students. As the work becomes more difficult, there are students who need extra interventions and small group instruction to help them comprehend the new strategies being taught. Other students have made enough progress to stop receiving interventions. However, all students are receiving the same curriculum and have the same reading expectations. In each grade level, the weekly newsletters explain what will be worked on in reading and language arts and that is what you should focus on at home. Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.
