Reading Goals Basis for Reading Goals - The realization that reading is not in isolation but in fact connected to all the content areas. - The truth that distinguished reading goes beyond being able to read fluently and comprehend a text on the “surface level.” Reading Goals for Students - To successfully engage with a variety of complex texts. - To critically read and respond to complex texts. - To closely read complex texts in order to obtain more meaning. http://lincolnwood.district65.net/

Words Their Way “I see and I forget. I hear and I remember. I do and I understand.” - Through word study students examine, manipulate, and categorize words - The program creates tasks that focus students’ attention on critical features of word sound, pattern, and meaning. - The purpose of Word Study is Two-Fold - 1 st Develop a general knowledge of English spelling. The general nature of of our spelling system. - 2 nd Word Study increases specific knowledge of words- the spelling and meaning of individual words. - http://lincolnwood.district65.net/
