Book Bags

Every Friday your child will be bringing home books in their take home folder (in homework pouch).

I ask that you work alongside your child with these books daily.  I would like all the books in the pouch be returned to school by Friday so I can send home new books.

Here is what you can do with the books:
  • I READ - YOU READ: this is where you read a sentence and then they read it back to you.  Please make sure you encourage them to point to the words as they read them - this helps them with tracking and connecting the word to print.
  • Once they have mastered the reading have them read it out loud to you or another family member.
  • Even if they have mastered it - I would like them to continue reading it through the week.  This will help solidify sight words and other vocabulary to their memory.
  • Ask questions about what they read.  When we are looking at reading levels it is important to know the words you are reading BUT it is also important to be able to comprehend or connect with what you just read.  So, asking follow up questions is a great way to practice remembering the text and connecting it.
