Reading Improvement Club


Parents-

Are you looking for an opportunity for your child to raise his or her SRI scores and improve their reading before the end of the year?   

I will be available for “Reading Improvement Club” nights, immediately after school until 5:15 on Wednesdays in April, for your child to stay after school and get some small group assistance with reading skills.  Students will be reading Scholastic Reading Counts! books and taking quizzes to earn points, along with doing some small group readers’ theater to build fluency. Participation in “Reading Improvement Club” is completely optional, and is for students who want and/or need a little extra boost on the SRI or with reading fluency.  With us being almost through the year, this is a great opportunity to boost those scores before the end of third grade!   I hope several of you take advantage of the opportunity!

If you would like for your child to participate in R.I.C. (Reading Improvement Club), please sign and return the permission slip I sent home this week!

The dates for our Reading Improvement Club (RIC)
meetings will be:

Wednesday, April 6th
3:45-5:15
Wednesday, April 13th
3:45-5:15
(no club meeting on April 20th due to Spring Break)
