Reading Class

 Reading includes a variety of skills and strategies.  We will focus on fluency, word attack, decoding, and comprehension skills.

 

  • Reading Folders/Supplies  

An orange pocket folder will be designated as a Reading folder.  Please keep all current work in this folder.  Completed & graded work should be taken home daily.  PLEASE KEEP YOUR FOLDERS ORGANIZED!  You need to come prepared to class.  Being prepared means having your orange folder, assignments, a pencil, and any other supplies that may be needed that day. 

  • Daily Assignments During Reading class, we will read several novels as well as short stories and other media print.  You will have time in class to complete assignments if you work responsibly.  Daily assignments will focus on skills that are needed to be a successful reader. 
  • Outside Reading You are responsible for reading at least two outside books per quarter.  An outside book is a novel of at least 100 pages in length.  You will also complete a larger project over one book per quarter.  There will be a list of projects to choose from for this larger project. Most projects can be completed in class.
  • Grades Grades will be based on daily work, tests, quizzes, projects and homework assignments.  Daily grades are based on points possible.
  • Absences You are responsible for the work you have missed while you are absent. When you return to school, it is your responsibility to look in the MAKE-UP WORK PLANNER and get any worksheets needed from the teacher. You have two days to make up work for every one day you miss. For example, if you are absent for two days, you will have four days to make up the work. Regular attendance is VERY IMPORTANT!
  • Behavior  Behavior management is an important aspect in any class. Since you will be switching classes several times throughout the day, it is important that you stay focused and behave properly.  
  • Homework In general, if daily work is not completed during the class period it becomes homework and is due at the beginning of the following class period and in the appropriate file box.  A due date is given when work is assigned that does not follow the general rule.  Every assignment that I give should be written in your student planner.
