Dear Parents, 

First of all please let each of your children know how much I miss seeing them each week.  I hope that everyone is well and continuing to work hard at home.  I have created some assignments on www.readworks.org and  IXL that I would like for each student to complete in addition to the work assigned by their ELA and math teachers.  Each week they need to complete the 2 passages (1 fiction/ 1 non-fiction) assigned in Readworks.  Once the assignment is submitted, I will look over it and grade the assignment with feedback.  If the student fails the assignment I will reassign the passage for a 2nd attempt.  In IXL I have suggested several areas for the students to be working.  They need to choose 2 different areas to work in each week for a minimum of 30 minutes each session.  Make sure that when they answer questions if they miss a question, they need to take time to review the screen that explains why they missed the problem and how to solve it correctly.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.  Below I have listed your child’s Readworks log in and I recently text your child’s new IXL password.    

How to get students to their assignments

1. Have students go towww.readworks.org/student

2. Students enter class code VSNVDB

3. Tell your students that their default password is 1234

Note: Students can change their passwords when they log in, and you can change student passwords on this page.
