Achieve3000

EXCITING NEWS:  We just received training on a great new resource for students, Achieve3000!  I am very excited about this program.  Students have access to a great reading program that provides informational text to students at their individual reading levels.  Research has shown this program to increase reading levels!  See below for further information.  Your child will bring home a letter similar to the one below with their login and password.  I am in the process of revamping the homework to include this program.

Students will begin using the program in class tomorrow.  Each student will have an assigned day in which they log into Achieve3000.com during our reading rotation.

October 15, 2013 Dear Parent/Guardian, Now your child can improve his or her reading skills at home with the same great technology program we're using in school: KidBiz3000. Throughout the week, KidBiz3000 will send your child lessons. Every student in the class gets the same basic lesson, but the content is customized to match each child's own reading level. The lesson comes with a variety of fun activities to improve your child's comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills. As your child's reading level improves, KidBiz will increase the level of difficulty so he/she remains challenged and interested. Doing his or her best on the activities will ensure the best match between your child's ability and the content delivered. It is also important that your child's answers to the questions reflect work completed independently and without extra assistance. Your child will use this program in class, but you can also share in the fun at home - or anywhere a computer is connected to the Internet. Here's how: Log on to http://login.achieve3000.com with the following username and password. Username: Password:  Encourage your child to follow these five easy steps: Step 1: Respond to the Before Reading Poll. Step 2: Read the Article. Step 3: Do the Activity Questions.
