Literacy Block

As you may have heard from you child we have regrouped our literacy block groups.  As a first grade team we decided these groups by basing them off of an assessment that was given to all of the students.  The assessment covered  phoneme segmentation, nonsense words, letter sounds, and oral reading fluency.  Each classroom will be working on these different components during literacy block time, depending on the section that the group of students struggled with.  


In addition to this your child will be continuing to meet with me for guided reading groups at different times throughout the day.  We are all excited to start these interventions with our first grade students.  We believe by helping them in these specific areas that you will see gains in there reading.  


If you have any questions or concerns about where and why your child is in a specific reading group do not hesitate to call me or send me an e-mail, kristen.saunders@lakeregionschools.org.
