Dear Parents,
The Aurora Schools have purchased a great resource to support
literacy skills called Storia. Storia is
a website that gives your child access to a digital library of fiction and
non-fiction books and can be accessed at home and at school.
Your child’s account is set up and ready to go with many books on
his/her virtual bookshelf. Some of the
books in your child’s library were chosen because they relate to curricular
topics we are learning at school. Other
books were chosen for your child based on his/her reading level or literacy
skills. All you have to do to access
these books is follow the instructions on the attached paper to get started!
Before you log on, please read the following quick notes that
should help
you as you navigate this resource.
· **You will need
to use one of the following browsers to launch Storia: Chrome 21 or
higher, Microsoft 9 or higher, Firefox 13 or higher, or Safari 5 or higher
· ** Some of the
books are not ready to access yet. They will be available at the beginning of
October, but there are plenty of other books to read while you wait!
· **Periodically,
new books will be loaded onto your account. Go back and check for new updates!
· **Please go
back and reread stories as that will help your child gain important fluency skills.
· **Try the
reading challenge questions at the end of the story to check your child's
comprehension of the text.
· **If the book
is too difficult for your child, read it to him/her. Remember, listening to reading is also an
important part of early reading skills.
We are excited about this resource as it provides an extensive
library of books for your child to read at his/her reading and interest
level. We hope you enjoy it!
Thank
you,
Mrs.
Karen Gallucci
