As part of the Ready Gen/My Perspectives Reading Program in grades K-8 there are resources that students should be using at home to improve their reading skills.
This is a new reading program that was launched in September.
Students have been given their login and passwords for the program and should be using it to read materials available on-line that pertain to the unit of study.  
The Program enables students to read content area topics in Social Studies and Science that correlate with the Unit of Study that is being done in the classroom along with other non-fiction and fictional stories.
 A Growth Mindset in reading requires that the brain is actively developing new vocabulary, reading it in context of stories and studying it for long term memory retention.

At least 1/2 hour a day should be spent at home working on the skills available through Pearson's Realize or in the other online program of Front Row that is being used in classrooms.

Should you have any questions regarding how to login in or your child's password for either Pearson's Realize or                    Front Row please see your child's teacher.
