Students choose a “good-fit” book and comfortable place in the room. They relax and read for twenty minutes.

Students read with a partner to improve their fluency. They take turns or choral read.

The students work to build their vocabulary skills: prefix, suffix, Greek/Latin roots, antonyms, synonyms, homophones, making words.

The students work on various writing skills and pieces. They also respond to reading.

The students use the new mini-Dell laptops to work on Raz-Kids Reading.

“My child has never been more excited about reading!”

“My child read for four hours this weekend!”
