RISE READING NEWS - 5TH GRADE

What is RISE? 

   
RISE stands for Reading Increases Student Excellence.  This forty-minute class provides additional assistance in reading. 

   
It is very important to practice reading at home for fluency.  A great way to do this is to listen to your child read from an Accelerated Reader Library book.  Listen to your child read aloud and help as necessary just as a coach would coach a player.  It is an important step towards independent reading plus a great opportunity for you to "share read" with your child.  "Share reading" is simply sharing the reading - you read a page and then your child reads a page.  "Share reading" gives students the opportunity to learn pace, voice inflection, and vocabulary pronunciations and meanings.  For optimum results, start the school year by having your child read 15 pages a night and then increase it by 5 pages every 3 weeks.  That builds stamina which is needed when the TAKS tests in Reading, Math, and Science are taken.
