Week of March 20, 2023
Literacy
In ReadyGen we continue to focus on characters, setting, and retelling. Students are learning to recall information in a nonfiction text. Students are earning the difference between fiction and non-fiction reading material. Vocabulary and parts of speech (nouns, proper nouns, and verbs) are essential parts of our lessons. Syllables, punctuation, contractions, ABC order and compound words are points of focus in our grammar lessons.

Remember to have your student continue to practice the first 75 fry words. Students who can read these words already are focusing on spelling these words correctly in their daily writing. This is the 4th quarter list for reading and writing mastery.
