Today your child is bringing home their first of many books from our language arts program. Please find a special place to keep them and include this in the nightly reading homework. Have your child read the books over and over again for fluency. Here are some things to remember when reading these books: have your child point to each word as they read it; ask your child to find a specific sight word; ask them who, what, when, where, why questions for comprehension; use the sight words in the stories to say or write complete sentences. Create a positive experience so that your child will look forward to your reading time together.

Each night, your child will need to read for 10 min. and then record the title on the homework cover sheet. These books we send home can be used for their reading time or you may read others.

Please have your child write their name on each page of their homework themselves. Make sure they are writing with one capital and the rest lower case letters (as shown on the back cover of their folder).

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about our homework. Thanks!!
