One of the key components of Benchmark Advance is the student consumable, otherwise known as TCR - Texts for Close Reading. There's one for every instructional unit. You will be amazed to see the progress your child makes across the year just by looking at their annotations and written responses when these consumables come home at the end of every unit. You will also be able to use the consumable with your child by doing all or some of the calendar activities that we will be sending home at the start of each unit, too!
Here are the digital copies of each unit's activity calendar:
- Unit 1 Activity Calendar
- Unit 2 Activity Calendar
- Unit 3 Activity Calendar
- Unit 4 Activity Calendar
- Unit 5 Activity Calendar
- Unit 6 Activity Calendar
- Unit 7 Activity Calendar
- Unit 8 Activity Calendar
- Unit 9 Activity Calendar
- Unit 10 Activity Calendar
The most important thing you can do to foster your child's literacy skills is make sure they read every evening. We require 20 minutes of reading each night in a book of their choice that they feel is comfortable and interesting. One of the best ways to help your child is to ask him/her about his/her reading!
