What are we doing this week?
**We spend two full weeks on each selection of the basal readers. The first week I concentrate on frontloading all of the high frequency words and phonics skill. We also read lots of decodable readers and from the leveled readers to teach the comprehension skill. The second week we review the high frequency words, practice with new spelling words following the same skill, and read the main selection. We then put the comprehension skill into action by creating graphic organizers to better understand the story. We only test on the story after the second week.
