Read at Home!
The students in Ms. Kirby's IRLA class have a goal to read a minimum of two steps or work on vocabulary for two steps each night at home. Parents, please initial your students IRLA log book each night. Every day, I check their log and put their steps in the computer. We have classroom rewards for reading and school rewards for reading. Students who don't read at home or who don't get signatures, miss out on these incentives.
Our goal: 100% of students reading at home every night.

Independent Reading Level Assessment - (IRLA)
What are IRLA Steps? An IRLA step is a 15 minute increment of time spent reading independently a book at their level. Students may also earn a "step" for working on vocabulary or comprehension skills as assigned by the teacher. The combination of reading two steps at school and two steps at home will help improve your child's reading and understanding of text. Please initial your child's IRLA log each night for a minimum of two steps. What if my child falls behind in their IRLA steps? A student who falls behind in their IRLA steps, for whatever reason, needs to read extra at home to catch up. Help them make a plan for how many extra they will read each night until they are caught up. Can my child read any material and it count for a step? No. In order to count for a step, students need to work with their IRLA text. However, students are encouraged to read other text when they finish their book they have chosen at their level. Students are expected to finish a chapter book a week or every other week depending on their level.
