What is a reading group?

Reading is a skill that needs to be practiced. Reading group offers students additional reading instruction in order to:

• remediate skill deficits in a small group setting
• provide a structured literacy approach to reading by using the Orton-Gillingham method.
• provide multiple opportunities for additional reading practice and in-depth progress monitoring to keep track of student growth

What can I do at home?

•    Read everyday! Practice helps you become a better reader and writer.
•  Visit the library. Choose books that interest you and read them to anyone who will listen.
• Sight words are important!  Practice these at home.
• Don't forget to practice writing. When you write, you are practicing reading. It's a great idea to keep a journal at home.
