Below Grade Level

Don't Panic!

Your child's teachers are working hard to get your child on grade level, but we need your help.

Here are some things that you can do at home:

Your child should read every day for 20 minutes

The books that they read should be on their reading level (your child should have these books from school, but the teachers can also assist you with this)
Your child should practice reading out loud to develop fluency. If you are not available for them to read to, they can read to a sibling, the family pet, or their stuffed animals.
Re-reading is important! When children practice books and even memorize them, they begin to develop fluency and learn sight words.

Create a culture of reading at home

Sight Words

Practice your child's sight words at home
Flash cards work very well!
Point out sight words as you see them in public. The grocery store is a great place to find sight words and practice reading.
