During the early out on Monday, the teachers received training about a program called Dyad Reading. It is a partnered reading program that has been shown to dramatically improve reading fluency and accuracy when used correctly. In order to use the program correctly, it requires that the children read the correct level of book.

We are fortunate to have many, many books in our classroom to use for Dyad Reading. Unfortunately, they have never been labeled with their levels for me to be able to select the correct books for each reading pair. I can do this on my own, but it will take many hours and as a result it will be much longer before we can start the program. I am hoping that several parents would be willing to help with this as part of your volunteer hours.

The process of labeling the books with their level is simple and doesn’t require any knowledge besides how to use a website. I will provide all the information, books and labels that you need. All you will need to provide is a pen or marker, a computer with an internet connection, and as much time as you’re willing to give.

If you are interested in doing this great service for our class, please let me know! I will send everything home with your child and send you an email with all the information you need. It would be a huge help toward supporting and improving literacy in our classroom and as I said, is an easy way to do some of your volunteer hours from home.

Thank you!

Ms. Christina
