Book Bags

 

Weekly Book Bags

Every Friday your Kindergartener will be bringing home a book bag full of "Good Fit" books for them to practice at home with you through out the week.  All the books and the bag should be returned to school by Thursday so we can add the new books we have been looking at.

Here is a short video to give you some more details on how to use the book bags at home:

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.
