Homework
Homework is assigned Monday-Thursday, for no more than 15 minutes nightly (FCPS homework guidelines.) Assignments are listed in Agendas and Home Work folders are used for organization.
· Please sign agendas nightly to verify you were aware of the assignments.
· Read nightly. (This can be library books, reading group readings or home choices.)
Word Study
All lessons are phonics based and assigned based on a spelling inventory taken early in the year. Children will have a spelling composition book to house their assignment sheets which tell each evening’s assignments. The words are usually part of the assignment sheet but may need to be copied from the word study text which is sometimes used as a resource.

· use their prior knowledge (schema) to enhance understanding
· identify their purpose for reading
· ask and answer questions based on the text
· identify story elements and sequence events (fiction)
