Read theory

The students have been registered for a free online reading program that they can use at home or at school.  Today we practiced how to use it.  This is a great tool for practicing and improving reading comprehension at the level required for the individual student. Read theory link

Current events resource

This is a good resource for kids with unique current events articles.  It would be a good place to find a piece of text for text talk.  Dogo news
