Reading/Spelling Block

Spelling: Unit 31 This week, the skills we will be focusing on include soft-fyllable endings le, el, al, and er, or, ar endings. In reading, we will be reviewing the Daily 5 strategies we learned at the beginning of the year, and our Reading skill this week will focus on journal entries. Each student is encouraged to get on the www.lexile.com website to check the reading level of the books they are currently reading. 5th Grade reading levels, or lexiles, are between 740 and 850. There is an interest checklist the students can use on the website, and it will give suggested book titles in their area of interest and at their reading level. Higher level readers should also look for books slightly above their lexile level for a challenge.
