Try these activities at home to keep your child read, read, reading!
1. Read around the room
-Start in the kitchen and see how many words your child can read.
Have them read words off of cereal boxes, recipe books, grocery lists.
-Choose one special word, like "the", and have your child see how many times they can find this word.
2. Tape record your child as they read a book. Play it back so he/she can listen to him/herself reading.
3. Partner read a story with your child. You read one page they read the next.
4. Have your child be a "word detective". He/She can look for sight
words such as like, make, was, could, should etc. when reading to you
each night. Choose one word a night but keep a chart to compare which
words are more common than others.
5. Have your child play "teacher" and read a book to the "class". Brothers, sisters, friends etc. could be the class.
6. Keep up the great job with the at-home reading program! It is making a big difference!

Look
for your child's "letter home notebook" to come home each Friday. Each
week your child will write a letter to let you know what they have
learned that week. This will help them practice handwriting, how to
write a letter and be informative as well. Please write back and have
your child return the notebook by Thursday of the following week. This
is a fun activity that the students look forward to each week.
