The focus for all classes this week is the "12 Powerful Verbs." 

Reading should be active and as we read we will perform many of these actions.

We will also use the verbs we are learning this week to discuss our reading. 

These verbs are also frequently found in EOG test questions. 

On the documents page, you can find a pdf file of the "12 Powerful Verbs" to help you learn them.

R2A is a class to assist students with becoming better readers. We will be taking a multifaceted approach to reading, including direct explicit instruction, vocabulary and root word study, independent self-selected reading, group reading, novel studies, literature circles and other strategies to give students a successful reading experience.

It is my hope that students will not only be better readers, but will also become reading lovers.
