READ Plans
* All progress monitoring data from iReady must be current through spring break. These progress checks are entered under Goal 2 in the READ Plan Goals section:
You should have about three progress checks for Jan. - March.
Please also cut and paste the blurb below in the comments section under Additional Reading Services in the 'Other' box.
Due to the unprecedented situation created by COVID-19 reading support for students on READ plans will be done remotely through virtual reading groups. Our reading intervention team is providing support for readers three days weekly for 30 minutes each day. This is in addition to the one-one-one or small group instruction with the classroom teacher.
If you have any questions, please ask Stephanie or Libby.
