Reading Resources

At this point in the year, my recommendation for my first grade students reading log is to go to www.starfall.com

https://www.starfall.com/h/index-grades123.php

It is an ideal place to have students read decodeable books under the “Learn to Read” tab, “It’s Fun to Read “, and “I am Reading.”

Those assigned “aa-A” reading levels should practice with decodeable books and alphabet sounds and words.

Those assigned “B-C” should start with reading through the Learn to Read and It’s Fun to Read.

Levels D and up should start with reading through the Learn to Read, It’s Fun to Read and I am Reading. I am Reading provides fiction and non-fiction books for students to choose from.

Here is a list of additional reading resources provided by Accelerate Education.
