Who will be my two Reading Rockstars for APRIL?

To pick the winners, I will be looking at Readworks Articles, iReady, Raz Kids, and Epic data. I looked yesterday, and I noticed that we need to jump back into reading.

Listed below are all the reading resources that are available to you now:

1. Readworks Articles – on Google Classroom

2. iReady – Click https://dearbornschools.org/student-portal/ Then, press Clever (students might have to log in through their Google Account). Then, press the iReady button (it’s on the very bottom).

3. Raz-Kids – The students should have their login information in the front of their planner – go to https://www.raz-kids.com/ to login

4. Epic- Epic is an awesome reading website/app that is offering free accounts to students until June 30th, 2020. I have sent each of you an email (the email linked to Class Dojo) for you to make an account. If you didn’t get an email, message me on Class dojo or email me with an email that you would like to use. I will send you another invitation for a free account. This website includes popular books, videos, and audiobooks. There are so many books that the kids love including titles like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Whatever After, Big Nate, Goosebumps, The 39 Clues, Minecraft, and Lego Book series.

I will be picking the winners on May 1st!

Now, find a comfy spot, keep your pajamas on, and start reading!
