Intermediate Literacy Review

Session 1, Week 4
Weekl y Updat e:
This week, students read the
expository story So You Want to
be President?. They have continued
to work with new vocabulary
words, comprehension strategies,
and reading skills. They continued
questioning while reading in a Q-
Chart. Students have continued to
practice their reading fluency, and I
will be sending home fluency
practice to continue over the
summer.

Students can practice this by
multiple readings of a passage,
trying to improve on accuracy and
expression, and they can time how
many words they read in 1 minute
(WPM). I am also sending home
information about the progress
made in Summer U, including their
instructional reading levels (the level
at which they would work at in
school) and their fluency rate/words
per minute (WPM). I included this
information & the targets for the
reading level and fluency for their
upcoming grade levels in the fall to
provide information about any goals
to continue focusing on throughout
the rest of the summer, and so this
information can be carried on for
the next school year. I hope that
students continue to practice their
choice reading over the summer!
They can even continue with their
independent learning contracts.
Today is the last day of Summer U.
Enjoy the rest of your summers!
