Empathy: “Be happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep. Have the same concern for everyone.” Romans 12:15-16 September 2016 Dear Third Grade Parents, Welcome to school year 2016-2017. Our school theme this year is Empathy. May we share in the joy of others and comfort those in their sorrows. This year we continue our Journeys Reading program and the Go Math program. We will also be using Lexia a new reading app, and we will continue using the STMath app. The apps of Razkids and Mathletics is extra practice to be used at school and at home. I look forward to working with your child for continued reading and math success. Mrs. Tapay Stages of Development: Typically, children go through specific stages of development as they progress from nonreaders to fluent readers. In leveled reading, books are written to various levels of difficulty, gradually introducing developing readers to new challenges. The stages of reading development are commonly separated as follows: Early Emergent Readers (Reading A-Z levels aa-C) Emergent Readers (Reading A-Z levels D-J) Early Fluent Readers (Reading A-Z levels K-P) Fluent Readers (Reading A-Z levels Q-Z)
