Welcome to Reading Club!
Welcome! I am happy to be a part of your child's learning team. As a Reading Specialist, it is my mission to help every child reach their potential as a reader and writer. I strive to develop:
- eager readers who are excited to choose, read, and talk about books
- skilled readers who use their "toolbox" of strategies
- aware readers who think critically about what they read and see literacy as a key to connect with the world
A little about Reading Club: This year we are using three programs: Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI), Orton Gillingham Phonics, and Heggerty Phonemic Awareness. The lessons include phonemic awareness instruction (for K-2 students), phonics and spelling practice, reading books together, and comprehension conversations. Students are first assessed to find their individual reading level and then instructed to progress through more difficult levels. The overall goal is to catch up students to be reading independently at grade level. Each Reading Club group has up to 4 students in grades K-2 and up to 6 students in grades 3-5.
This year I am also helping to coordinate Silver Spur's program for English Learners. If you are a parent of an EL student, please click the English Learners tab to learn more.
I'll continue to post information that I hope you find helpful. Feel free to email me with questions at any time.
