Reading:
This year we will be using Fountas and Pinnell's Leveled Literacy Intervention program (LLI) in combination with Reader's Workshop. This program is designed to give support to readers who need a more specifically designed approach to learning. We will be using LLI in small group settings, allowing for direct instruction. This will also allow your student and I to adjust the instruction to their own needs, and focus on the areas they need the most.Topics covered in LLI include:
- Comprehension Skills
- Vocabulary Building
- Word Work (phonics/syllable work)
- Text Structures
- Print Features
- Discovering Themes
Writing:For Writing, we will be using a mix of LLI and Writer's Workshop. Writer's Workshop is a program that combines whole-group mini-lessons with time for individual and small group learning opportunities. We will be examining different writing topics, including narrative, opinion, and informative styles. Students will learn through both teacher-directed lessons, as well as their own personal writing journals.Reading & Writing Resource:
