Reading
Reading has 6 units. There will be 5 weeks of instruction and 1 week of review and testing for each unit. The unit test is used to monitor progress and determine which skills need to be retaught. The score is not used for the report card grade. The report card grades are E, S, I, and N. Each week your child will have an assessment sheet and a Fresh Read which will be used for the report card grade.
