Fact Vs Fiction Reading

http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/common-core-fact-vs-fiction#top

 Teaching nonfiction reading skills just got moved to "the head of the class"......

http://www.rhinelander.k12.wi.us/faculty/JohnsAmy/Take%205%20Kindergarten%20Common%20Core%20Sight%20Word%20Games.pdf

Improve reading fluency while having fun? 
It's easy if you start playing games and give children lots of practice. 
We recommend kindergarteners learn SIGHT WORDS as soon as possible. 

Why?  It helps readers  transition into longer passages of text.
