LIFT

LIFT is short for.....Learning is Fun Together! Today the children started new learning groups. LIFT is a time where students will work in small groups on reading skills in concentrated lessons. Groups are mixed with students from grades K-1st. Students will remain with the same group for 3 weeks. Each child has been evaluated and placed according to their needs. The students will be pre and post tested during their LIFT time to monitor their progress. There are 4 staff members working with groups during our LIFT time. Groups will work on a variety of skills during the year. Some examples are Letter sounds, Consonant Vowel Consonant patterns, Silent E, Blends, Digraphs, and advanced skills such as R-Controlled Vowels and Consonant Clusters, Silent Consonants and Consonant Digraphs. I will be supervising a group that is working on CVC words (consonant vowel consonant). At parent teacher conferences I will share more information on MTSS and the strategies we are using to improve our reading program. Here is a list of websites that my group will work on in LIFT class this week. http://pbskids.org/wordworld/characters/game_frm.html
