Fun Sites to Practice With...
Reading:
Many teachers at Three Fires use Accelerated Reader (AR) where students take online quizzes on books they have read from home or the library. One great feature of this program, is that students know what reading level books are and can adjust to make sure they are reading a "just right" book for them. If you are unsure of your child's reading level, contact their classroom teacher. All quizzes must be taken in school due to licensing terms, but families can use this site: http://www.arbookfind.com/UserType.aspx to find books at a given level. The goal is to continually grow as a reader!
Did you know that audio books give almost the same benefits to readers as traditional books?
