Read With Me Cultivating a Literary Community 

I am so excited that you all have been loving the web resources I have shared with you so far this year.  I KNOW you  are REALLY going to love this next site!

It’s called Destination Reading.

Once you enter the site, you will see that I have assigned the first unit for you to complete.  This unit will support the work we’re doing in class on narrative fiction (emphasizing the importance of characters, setting, and plot in stories), as well as address other reading skills.  PLUS – it’s FUN!

Now, you may be wondering, “Mrs. Nash, how do I do this?  Where do I go?  How do I login?  What else do I need to know?”

Here is all your “Need-To-Know-Info”:

1.  The web address is http://duval.riverdeep.net/lms.

2.  Your sign-in is your first and last name followed by the digits “264″.  (Example: jennynash264)

3.  Your password is the two-digit month and two-digit day of your birthday.  (Example: If you were born on July 12th, your password is “0712″.)

I’m also installing a permanent link on the sidebar of this blog so you can always, always, always find it when you need it.  I recommend you write your username and password in your planner so you don’t lose it!

Have fun!

P.S. You know what my favorite part is?  I get to spy on you!  I get to peek in on your work and see how you’re doing…so do your best!

You may notice that your child brought home a “Parent’s Guide to Book-in-a-Bag” this week.  In order to make your child’s at-home reading time as meaningful as possible, I encourage you to have a conversation with your child about their reading at least twice a week.  This  useful “guide” includes a list of variety of questions you can use to guide your discussions with your child, based on the type of book they’re currently reading.
