5. Title I T & T
(Tips and Tidbits):
We’re a Family of Readers
When families share a love of reading, children develop stronger literacy skills and
are more motivated to pick up a book. Here’s how some of our readers have made reading a family affair.
After-Dinner Novel
“We pick a novel all ages can enjoy—often one my wife or I enjoyed as a child—and take turns reading a chapter a night. The kids look forward to it, especially if we stopped at a cliff-hanger the day before. After each chapter, we share our opinions of the book and say what we think will happen tomorrow.”
Reading Adventures
“Every time we visit the library, we look for books related to someplace we’re going soon. Before a visit to the aquarium, we found nonfiction books about sharks and dolphins. And before a trip to my sister’s apartment in the city, we read about skyscrapers, subways,and taxis.”
Treasure Hunts
“When my son first learned to read, he searched for free reading ‘treasure.’
He’d collect maps from parks and malls, brochures from the vet’s office, and even
fortunes from cookies. Soon, our whole family was adding to the ‘treasure chest.’
We’ve learned a lot, like how dogs communicate and what fun things there are to do at our favorite park.”♥
6. EXACT Path: Students are encouraged to log into EXACT Path daily while at home. They have a dedicated time during the school day to work on their learning paths. However, we do encourage students to continue practicing their "Leveled" skills in their "Reading and Math" learning pathways. Students are recognized bi-weekly for their mastery progress and usage minutes.
