Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform.

Reading Fluency and Comprehension for 2nd graders

Description: 

Students will be able to access books that are at their current reading level using the website raz-kids.com.  The site can be used both at school and at home.  When on the site, the students will hear stories, record themselves reading, listen to their recording, and answer questions to help with comprehension.  Another comprehension piece will be to write a summary about the story and/or answer a particular question and save it to a shared blog for others to read. This unit also includes face to face whole group/small group opportunities.  (NOTE: Raz-kids is not a free site; however, you will get 36 seats per site purchase.)

Learning Targets: 
Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.
Read grade level text with purpose and understanding.
Read grade level text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings.
Ask and answer such questions as WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
