Adjustments: websites and reading materials should be selected and used at the level that students are comfortable with. Some sites and books may be too easy or too hard. Here’s a good way to check.

Method:

Open the book or website.

Start reading anywhere.

Read for about ½ page or screen.

If more than 5 words are NOT understood, select an easier level.

If its too easy, select another site or book.

Note: Materials can be submitted/pictures taken of your product and send to Mrs. Cheeseman at kim.cheeseman@nbd.nb.ca for verbal feedback. I look forward to seeing your work. Have Fun.
