Dear Parents,
Dear Parents,
I was truly so proud of all the student's progress shown on their observation reports! We have adjusted the reading levels of the books that are will come home according to reading results during report card testing. These books, their comprehension of what they are reading, and knowing their sight words help improve their reading levels. Please be diligent about listening to them read to you. If the books that come home seem too challenging or too easy, please let us know and we will switch them out with other ones; you don't have to wait until the next week! We are very proud of the hard work they have put forth, and progress they have made!
Now, as we enter our "last stretch" and prepare for our next Spring reading assessments in April, please keep the following guidelines in mind when reading their books with them at home. Along with identifying the words in the books, they are expected to be able to retell the story they read, and answer basic comprehension questions. If a book is challenging, encourage them to take a "picture walk" through the book before beginning to read and predict what will be happening in the story.

Qualities of a Good Reader
Great reading is more than just sounding out letters and words. It involves thinking on many levels. When we use modeling, practice, and reflection, we can help the students to think while they read and build their comprehension.
Good readers:
Think about what they have just read
Make predictions as they read
Look at and use the pictures for comprehension
Identify a purpose for reading
Remember to ask them questions about the story as they read, and have them practice giving details about what happened after they have finished. Also, encourage them to relate themselves to the story or the characters, and ask them how they may have experienced something similar to the story.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mahtook
