Dear Parent/Guardian:
Your student is working in Read Naturally Encore II, a highly effective supplemental reading program that develops fluency and supports vocabulary, comprehension, and, if needed, phonics.
Improving reading fluency is important for developing readers. Fluent readers:
Read Naturally Encore II combines several research-based strategies into a single powerful method of improving reading fluency and supporting vocabulary, comprehension, and phonics.
What do we know from research? |
What does a student do when working through a story in Read Naturally? |
| Students become good readers by reading. | The student selects and read a nonfiction story form an assigned level. |
| Reading along with a proficient reader improves word recognition and fluency. | The student reds the story along with an audio recording. |
| Reading a passage several times improves fluency. | The student reads the story alone several times until reaching his or her goal. |
| Fluent readers generally comprehend better than non-fluent readers. | The student tracks performance on graphs and advances to more difficult stories and higher goal rates based on improvement. |
| Well-developed vocabulary is essential for comprehension. | The student uses a glossary and listens to audio recordings to learn the meanings of vocabulary words. |
| Explicit phonics instruction and practice improve fluency. | A student who needs more support in phonics skills works in the phonics series. |
The After School Reading Program, runs Monday - Thursday, from 3 to 4. Any student who wishes to attend must have a ride home. Thank you for your support. Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pierce
