How low is low? I just finished reading assessments (DRAs) and my lowest reader is at a level H (Fountas and Pinnell) I am going to meet with that group everyday and continue guided reading that focuses on multiple decoding| strategies and also meet with them in other groups to focus more on reading comprehension strategies. Rigby has a nice collection of books that students haven't seen before. I bought 18 books at level H for a little under 100$ and they also have books with related word activities for 49$ that I recommend to parents to purchase. I also think it's important to have students who haven't | |
"broken the code" yet do a lot of word work, such as using magnetic letters to make words and playing games such as "Chunks" and "Clusters." The reading strategy that I emphasize at level H is the one where they say the first letter sound/s before the first vowel, skip the rest of the word and read on and try to guess the word by context/meaning. Good luck!
