Welcome to Ms. Hart's Reading Classroom
I am looking forward to a great year of learning and growing as readers together!
About the Title I/Reading Assistance Reading Program
About the Reading Improvement Program
- Students are evaluated by the reading specialist using the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System and SIPPS Assessment. These assessments provide information about the students' reading abilities.
- The Reading Improvement Program involves working with small groups of students daily during the small group block of Literacy. Students meet with the reading specialist or reading paraprofessional five to six days out of the six-day cycle depending on their grade level.
- Students meeting with the reading specialist or reading paraprofessional are pulled out during small group work to receive more intensive intervention than they would receive in the classroom. Students do not miss any new instruction that takes place during the Literacy Block.
- The reading specialist and classroom teacher work collaboratively and co-plan regularly to ensure that the instruction provided correlates with the PA Core Standards and Norwin Curriculum. Instruction is differentiated to meet the individual needs of students in order to ensure academic growth.
- Your child will also have a Google Classroom for Reading Club. The Google Classroom will be primarily used to post valuable resources for reading for both students and parents/guardians. Assignments will only be posted on Google Classroom for students on days school is cancelled due to inclement weather.
