The homework assigned to your 2nd grader nightly is designed with reading as the key focus. Studies have shown that children who read and are read aloud to daily, have a larger vocabulary, are better writers, and overall perform better in school than students who don't. My goal is to help foster a love of reading in my students so that they are self motivated to read everyday! Happy Reading!
