Reading Accuracy Initiative
LEARNING GOAL: To decode words in a text and read with fluency. SUCCESS CRITERIA: I will successfully decode what I am reading. I practice reading with fluency when reading out loud to others (parents, teacher).
Week of: Nov. 25-29
Copy the information in to Kurzweil to listen to it when at school.
Listen carefully to me when I read it outloud.
Have your parents read it with you.
Focus on reading the words correctly and with fluency.
Perfect practise makes perfect. When you are ready to be assessed, sign your name on the board to have me test you. You will read a portion of the passage to me. You must earn 80% accuracy to move on to the next reading passage.
You can do it when you put your mind to it!
Where Do Your Clothes Come From?
Most North American teens' closets and drawers are overflowing with jeans, tees, and hoodies. But did you ever wonder where your clothes are made? If you check the tags, you might find your favourite tee was made in a developing country. There's a chance it was stiched together in a sweatship-a factory where the hours are long, the pay is low, and the working conditions are unsafe.
