Reading

Reading is a daily homework assignment. Students are expected to read each night for at least twenty minutes. (Weekend reading is not required, but it is recommended). Please encourage your child to discover the joy of reading. You can help make this daily homework assignment enjoyable by setting a good example for your child. Let your child see you reading. Periodically, invite your child to read a favorite book to you. Make this a time when you can sit down together and experience the wonder of reading.

When your child is matched to a text that provides just the right amount of challenge, maximum learning takes place. This link will direct you to age-appropriate reading lists.
