* Literacy Resource (BLUE)Folder: Look for NEW resources including
comprehension and FLUENCY activities coming THIS WEEK to help your child
as he/she interacts with, reads, & responds to text.
These materials should get your child through the next 3 weeks! If he/she
doesn't have a BLUE folder in his/her backpack, then I'll send the materials
home in regular file folder.
VERBAL RETELLING QUESTION STEMS, or find these at the tab on the blog for
