Reading Assessment

Now that students are fully back at school and we have worked on a number of reading comprehension strategies over the last 3 weeks, I will be assessing their reading comprehension this week. Grade 3's will be assessed using DRA and Grade 4's will be assessed using CASI. I will also be using the BART word assessment on the Grade 3's. BART is a good tool that helps me see the patterns of words, or types of words students are having difficulty with. I look forward to sharing everything with you during our first Parent/Teacher Interview (with Progress Reports).

Shared Readings This Week

Our theme for shared readings this week is First Nations and Residential Schools. Here are some of the books I will share and we will talk about.
Also, here is the link for Orange Shirt Day. Please send your child to school in an orange shirt (if they have one) or please have them wear something orange in the spirit of reconciliation and hope.
