Magnetic Reading K–5:

An ELA curriculum based on the Science of Reading. Magnetic Reading Foundations K–2 provides the foundation needed for students to learn to read and connects to the comprehension skills taught in Magnetic Reading 3–5, where students read to learn. Used in connection with i-Ready Assessment, Magnetic Reading K–5 ensures every student gets the right support for succeeding as a grade-level reader.

Grades K-2:

Magnetic Reading Foundations is a foundational skills reading program providing explicit, systematic, and scientifically based reading instruction that moves students from foundational skills to reading fluency. High-interest literary and informational texts draw young readers to grade-level reading, helping to solidify crucial foundational skills such as letter recognition, phonological awareness, phonics, high-frequency words, and more. Age-appropriate learning opportunities ensure all students are engaged and have access to the right content at the right time.

Grades 3-5:

Magnetic reading goes beyond foundational skills with a systematic approach that utilizes rich, engaging texts to promote fluency and comprehension while exposing students to new concepts and building vocabulary. Lessons include strategies that address diverse learning needs and provide growth opportunities for every student


Reading Intervention

Michigan's Read by Grade 3 Law requires that we test all students within the first 30 days of school. Fowlerville uses the iReady Reading Assessment. All students who score below the 20th percentile qualify for an Individualized Reading Intervention Plan (I-RIP) in grades K-3. 

Students who qualify receive 30 minutes of small group instruction daily during "What I Need" (WIN) time. The small group instruction focuses on Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, High-frequency Words, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. 

Fowlerville Community Schools also provides small group Tier 2 intervention for grades 3-5 during WIN time, 30 minutes daily. 

Parents are notified if their student qualifies for Tier 2 or Tier 3 support at the beginning of the semester, after assessments are completed.
