Literacy Pro Update

Last week, the Year Three students completed their Literacy Pro placement test and are now familiar with their Lexile score. This is written in their Motivation Book and helps students select books appropriate to their level of comprehension. I will also be assigning a weekly reader which can be accessed via the Literacy Pro Library tab in the Scholastic Learning Zone. They are encouraged to read books and complete tests regularly. 

Here are a few tips:
1.      Complete the quiz straight after reading the book.
2.      Have the book handy to scan for the answers.
3.      Read the question carefully.
4.      If you don’t get 80% or higher, re-read the book and try again.

It is incredible that, in just one week, the Year Threes in Room 23 have read 77, 681 words and completed nearly 30 quizzes. They are hungry for that trophy!

All students should be reading aloud to an adult for 5-10 minutes each night and engaging in discussions about what they have read. Keep reading, Room 23!
