We subscribe to the Storyworks magazine. It is published by Scholastic and is sent to our room six times during the school year. Included in the magazine are poetry, original fiction, historical fiction, a play, and a nonfiction article. Each student has been assigned an individual chapter book with comprehension questions and activites that relate to the book. The books vary in length and reading levels.
Every student works at their own pace.
Both rooms are provided with 15-20 minutes of daily D.E.A.R. time. Read-aloud books this year emphasize the 6 Pillars of Character .
