Weekly Reading/(Readtheory)- Students must read and pass 4 quizzes with an 70% or above to attain the score of 100% for the week.
* It is important that parents NOT help students with Readtheory . The point is to get a true reading level for each student and watch them grow throughout the year. Students who receive help with reading or quizzes will only temporarily inflate their lexile/grade level reading score. Thank you for allowing your child to grow in their abilities on their own through consistent practice.
Please note: ReadTheory is an in class assignment, unless the student did not pass with a 70% or higher score. In that case, the student should read an additional passage at home to attain a passing score. Grades are collected from Monday- Friday of each week. Grades will be recorded at the end of class on Friday..
