In Reading and Spelling Club, students will explore both fiction and non-fiction texts, building key skills to enhance their reading fluency, comprehension, and spelling mastery. Each week, students will rotate through three differentiated group activities designed to meet their unique learning needs, fostering a love of reading and a deep understanding of texts.
What We’ll Focus On:
- Reading Comprehension: Retell stories, identify key story elements like setting, characters, and sequence of events, and determine the central idea and supporting details.
- Finding Text Evidence: Develop skills to look back in the text, highlight answers, and use evidence to support responses.
- Fluency Skills: Practice reading with expression, accuracy, natural phrasing, and proper pacing.
- Grammar and Phonics: Reinforce weekly grammar and phonics concepts from Superkids to strengthen foundational skills.
- Spelling Activities: Engage in hands-on games and creative activities to reinforce weekly spelling words and recognize patterns in language.
