[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader in APS has read one novel independently in a book club this year. They always have a read aloud they are doing, they’ve probably read 2-3 different novels aloud this year related to their reading and writing units.

She is an avid reader so I don’t have to push her. Do you read aloud to her at home? Have you tried you read a page, she reads a page?

I’m also an APS upper elementary teacher and we do continuous read alouds in class. Finish one, start the next. We’ve read about 4 so far this year and just started a new one. In 4th, we do book clubs in the spring where every student must read a novel. We differentiate depending on reading level for that unit and put like readers together.

As APS moves to science of reading there is less time and emphasis on independent reading in elementary school. If your daughter struggles with reading I’d get her a tutor now because in middle and high school they read much more on their own for assignments.

Can you elaborate more? What will there be a greater emphasis on?[/quote]
