Reading Foundations Beginning of year LITERACY goals *Developmental Jump: Making independent inferences Building a Reading Life: Students are learning that reading is a balance of fluency and comprehension, what their current strengths are, and how they can strengthen themselves as readers. I will be sending home information about your child’s reading level and how you can support them at home. Avid, Addictive Reading! We want our kids to be reading a variety of levels, Genres, and having many different reading experiences. Reading Toolkit: Learning the tools skilled readers use, watching them through modeling, guided practice, and then using independently. Building writing stamina, developing writing routines and processes and setting goals.
