One of my goals as a teacher is for my students to become life-long readers. In order to support me as well as your child, please set aside at least 15-20 minutes per evening to read with your child. This can be a combination of you reading to your child and your child reading to you. Please be sure to take time each day to read to your child even as they grow as a reader. Your child will be checking out books from the school library each week. I will also be sending home baggie books for your child to read to you each night. Please make sure the baggie books come back to school every TUEsday so he/she can get a new set of books. Students will learn that there are three ways to read a book: Read the Words, Read the pictures, Read the words, Retell the story.
