Reading

Reading homework is to read for 15-20 minutes a night. No reading log will need to be turned in. I will also send home a word work word sort activity and scavenger hunt each week with the week's spelling words/vowel pattern, but this does not need to be turned in.

RACE Strategy

What you can do at home to help

Have your child read aloud to you or other family members. This helps build oral reading fluency. Have student read book or passage multiple times. You can also time them and see how many words they read in a minute and set goals to increase the amount of words read correctly within a minute.

Have your child read to you and ask wh- (who, what, when, where, and why) questions to confirm their comprehension. Ask about characters, setting, beginning, middle, and end.
