Welcome Back to School- 3rd Grade

We're starting week two!   The Title I staff  will spend the first couple of weeks in your child's classroom for about half an hour during reading. We are taking this opportunity to get to know all the students.   At the beginning of the year  we check to make sure your child's reading, comprehension and fluency are in the average range for their age group. You can help your child at home to reach these goals by reading with them. Have them read to you and talk about the stories. Letting your child read books that are too easy gives them fluency practice. This just means that when they read it sounds like they are talking. It also build confidence and makes practicing comprehension skills easier. 

At CES, our mission is to offer each child the best possible education that we can. In order to do this we must all work as a team. The Title I reading staff and the classroom teachers meet  frequently to ensure all students are receiving the best reading instruction possible. When the classroom teacher is ready to begin small groups,  Title I reading teachers will support the classroom teacher by working with groups in their regular classroom or they may be taken to the Title I classroom.  We are excited to say, we now work with all students!  If your child happens to be apart of a group that is working with the Title I staff this does not mean that they are struggling or in need of extra assistance. If your child is struggling your child's classroom teacher will let you know.
