Literacy By Design This is our reading curriculum. Each theme has 10 lessons. We have a Pre test before we start each theme to see what your child already knows. At the end of the 10 lessons there is a post test to see what your child has learned.
Phonics: In each Theme we will take 2 test. We test after the first 5 lessons and the last 5 lessons. I send home the word families we will be working on the next week in the newsletter. The high frequency words will also be on the newsletter and spelling tests.
Reading level break down: This year we will be using letter for our reading levels because that is how our LBD curriculum is set up. The beginning of the year to be on grade level, your child must read at a level D (Level 6). In order to be on grade level at the end of the year, your child must read on a level J (Level 18). You will see letters on their midterms and all other report cards.
