What is KIS Islanders Read? • A class held once a week • Middle School only • A class intended to support each student’s reading and help each student continue to improve his/her reading skills • A way to help students grow in their love of reading and in the diversity of materials they read • A chance for students to evaluate their own reading skills and set goals for improvement

  3. KIS Islanders Read Standards • Students will build reading fluency through the process of reading • Develop a greater appreciation and love of reading both for pleasure and for information • Choose reading as an activity outside of class and class assignments • Advance in ability to read at higher levels • Choose texts in a variety of genres to read for pleasure • Improve reading fluency by participating actively with the Accelerated Reader (AR) program

  4. Enduring Understandings of KIS Islanders Read • Reading is an active process that involves the reader interacting with the text. • There are a variety of purposes for reading and a variety of genres and organizational patterns for reading material. • Reading a wide variety of texts by different authors, from a variety of time periods, cultures and genres allows readers to build a broader and deeper understanding of the “human experience.” • I can improve my reading fluency through reading texts I can understand.

  5. Accelertated Reader’s Role • Help you determine your reading level accurately, quickly, and continually • Empower you to choose books that aren’t too easy or too hard (lexile levels) • Help you determine your comprehension levels of texts (AR quizzes) • Provide KIS Islanders Read teachers with data on your reading strengths and areas for improvement

  7. Group Activities • SSR Focus Discussions • Small group or whole class mini-lesson • Small group or whole class reading and discussion of a text in common • Student presentations (book talks)

  8. What will our KIS Islanders Read class NOT look like? • Our class will NOT be: • a study hall • a place for you to do homework for your classes • playtime • a place where there is no teacher/student interaction • a place where there is no student/student interaction

  9. KIS Islanders Read Expectations • You should set goals quarterly and review them regularly. • At the end of the quarter, you will reflect on and evaluate your progress in achieving your goals. • You and I will conference together often. • Each class will begin with at least 20 minutes of SSR.
