Conference Week

I look forward to seeing you at parent/teacher conferences in order to share information about your child’s great progress! I will be joining your conference scheduled with the classroom teacher. We will discuss your child’s reading achievements, areas for growth, and our plan for continued success throughout the next few months. Please come to our conference with any questions you might have about your child’s reading. Here is my schedule, see you this week!

Parent Teacher Conferences

It’s hard to believe that we have already been at school for two months! During that time, students have really grown as readers. In order to document their progress this week, I will be reading with my students one-on-one. I will be assessing their accuracy (reading the words correctly), their independent use of strategies when they encounter tricky words, their fluency (smooth reading), and their comprehension (understanding of the story). Reading uses many different skills!

Parent.Teacher.ConferencesI look forward to sharing students’ progress during parent/teacher conferences, November 4-6. Don’t worry about setting up a separate time with me, I will be joining you when you meet with your child’s classroom teacher. If you have any questions about your child’s reading, please jot them down so that we can discuss them together.

Since we won’t have our reading groups this week, please make sure that your child is reading every night at home. Making time for your child to read to you is so important.
