Homework
Happy Reading!
Your child should read every night for about 10-15 minutes, either independently or with an adult. The time you spend reading to your child is invaluable as well. Not only will these reading moments together help your child develop his/her fluency, listening, and reading comprehension skills, but they will also instill a love for reading in your child at a very young age.
Every week, your child will come home with three take-home books. By reading these books multiple times, your child will develop his/her fluency skills. Please help your child complete the recording sheet each week.
Your child will bring home worksheets for homework on Monday which are due on Friday. These worksheets are designed to provide continued practice at home. Please support your child with the homework; however, you are encouraged to make it his/her responsibility to complete and bring it back to school. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns.
