Scott Foresman Benchmark tests 79% or higher is proficient Fluency score Stanford 9 gives you a Lexile level Grade 1 Running Records Beginning of the year Level 4 and above Mid Year Level 10 and above End of Year Level 16 and above Text Leveling Correlation Guide

What are Lexiles? The Lexile Framework® for Reading is a scientific approach to measuring readers and reading materials. difficulty of a text student’s reading ability Knowing the Lexile text measure of a book and the Lexile reader measure of a student helps to predict how the book matches the student’s reading ability—whether the book is too easy, too difficult or just right. The Lexile scale ranges from below 200L for beginning readers and beginning-reading text to above 1700L for advanced readers and text.

Children need to read books that are appropriate for their reading level. If the books are too difficult they will get frustrated and their interest in reading will decline. Ask your child’s teacher what level is “just right” for your child. The Stanford 9 as I stated before gives you a lexile level. Go to for a tool to help you find appropriate books. is a great site to find books of interest for boys. is a great site to find series books, favorite authors and much more.

Matching students to appropriate text and giving them choice Connecting Reading and Writing Have your children do a lot of writing. Write stories together. Have your child write a report on a topic of interest. Motivation

1.Read to your child every day. Even older children enjoy listening to others read. 2.Make reading time special. Cuddle up in a quiet, comfortable spot. 3. Make stories come alive when you read. Be animated and use different voices. Read and reread favorite stories. 4. Make sure your child reads at least 15 minutes a day. 5. Be patient with beginning readers. Let them take their time while reading aloud. Offer assistance only when needed and compliment often.

6. Chat about what you have read. Ask questions, and listen attentively to your child’s answers. 7. Encourage your older children to read to their younger brothers or sisters. Or the dog, stuffed animal… 8. Set reading goals for your child-number of books or chapters within a certain timeframe. 9. Bring along a book wherever you go. Don’t leave home without one 10: Take your child to the library often and check out a variety of age –appropriate books. 11. Find books and/or magazines that are of interest to your child.

12. Reluctant reader: choose books a couple of levels below. Too challenging of material will only frustrate your child and they give up and do not want to read at all. 13. Look into children’s programs at the library and community education. Make reading fun. 14. Check out children’s audio books from the library and play them while in the car or at home. 15. Be a role model. By seeing how much you enjoy reading, your child will learn that reading is a great way to learn new information and read just for fun.

If you suspect a reading problem. Talk to your child’s teacher. Get help promptly. Reading problems do not magically disappear with time. The earlier children receive help, the more likely they will become good readers. Use a variety of aids to help your child. Textbooks, computer programs, books-on-tape. Games are especaially good choices because they let children have fun as they work on their skills. Boggle Jr.(Any board game that has reading Deal a Wordin it.) Label Your House Scrabble Spellarama The Original Car games

Read about things you like. Keep a log of what you’ve read. Read out loud with someone else. Look up words you don’t know, or ask your teacher or parents. Talk about what you’ve read. Read every day. Read everything you can, like maps, signs, newspapers, and magazines. Visit your library often and learn how to use it. Ask your librarian, teacher, or parent to help you choose good reading materials.

Better than TV: Have a family reading night, limit screen time. Recipe for reading: Cook with your kids have them read recipes and decide what they want to cook. Shop and Read: For young children read labels in the grocery store or when putting the groceries away. Long Distance Lap: If you have to go on a business trip take a book with you and read a bit to your child when you call. Family Tales: Tell stories about your family

Storytelling Fun: Tell spooky stories, funny stories. Take turns adding to the stories. Silly tongue twisters Change the ending of a favorite story. Read, Read, Read!! Talk, Talk, Talk! Write, Write, Write!!

Be proud of your child’s reading accomplishments and let them know it !! Be their #1 Fan!! Above all HAVE FUN!! Read funny poems Read Jokes Be silly
