READING FAMILIAR BOOKS

Please let your child read these books to you. If your child has trouble with a word, he/she must look at the pictures for clues. He/she must also look at the beginning and final letters in the word and think about what would make sense. These clues will help your child make good “guesses” about the unknown word. Be careful NOT to just tell your child any unknown words, but help work through them together. Please fill in the names of the books your child read and sign the form.

THE CUT-UP STORY

You can help your child by listening to him/her read the story printed on the white letter envelope. Next, watch your child put the pieces of the “cut-up story” into the correct word order, being sure to leave finger spaces between the words. Then glue the story into the notebook and draw a picture to match the meaning of the story.
