**__ READ 180 __** Welcome to Mr. Fonnesbeck’s Read 180 class. My goal is for every student to improve their reading and writing ability from the day they enter my class until the day they leave it. The class uses the Read 180 content and materials produced by the Scholastic Reading Company.

This class is a collaboration of group work, independent work, and guided practice with a computer as a coach. Each student will have a chance to work in the Independent Reading, Small Group, and Guided Reading sections on a daily/weekly basis. Hard work and effort are required for this class to improve reading and writing abilities. The class will be graded as explained below:


 * Assessments/Quizzes/ Projects**: Assessments and quizzes will account for **90%** of each student’s grade in the class. At the end of each workshop, students will take a quiz on the skills they worked on during the workshop. Students will also be expected to read books on a weekly basis. After the completion of the book, each student will take a quiz on the book which they just read.


 * Daily Work**: This category will account for **10 %** of each student’s grade. Students will work individually at their capablity level. An overall average of the material will be entered in as a grade for the particular skill that the student has worked on.


 * Support:** In addition to the time spent on improving reading abilities, time will be used to support each student with assignments from their English Language Arts class.

Thank you for all who participate and support this class,

Mr. Karl Fonnesbeck
