Fountas and Pinnell have added some tips for teachers who use LLI with their students, and ways our students can be supported at home.

FOR LEVELED LITERACY INTERVENTION (LLI) EDUCATORS:

• Encourage students to read aloud and talk about the books they are reading to a parent, caregiver or sibling at home.
• For K-2 LLI students: Prepare to send home the Take-Home Bags with LLI Take-Home Books and students My Writing Book for children to read or reread.
• For 3-6 LLI students: Prepare to send home the Student Portfolios with LLI books (create a check out system if you are able), their Literacy Notebooks and any class work to extend learning remotely.
• For 3-6 LLI students: Create a plan to leverage the Novel Studies in LLI.
• Review the nonfiction topics from the LLI books and send home YouTube™ links to build background knowledge.
• Consult your LLI Lesson Guides for recommendations on homework that may benefit students while they are remote learning.
• Print some of the games from Gamemaker that they have already taught and send home to apply/practice independently or together with family.
• Encourage children to write daily.

We invite you to join the conversation and be in collaboration and community on the Fountas & Pinnell Literacy™ Learning Group on Facebook to hear ideas from other educators and to share your own ideas.
