Homework

Guided Reading began this week and the children received their homework bags. Many have been eager for homework to start and have been asking how long until they get to bring some home! The reading homework can be found in their folder and homework can be recorded each night. There may not be homework every night, so please read with, or to your child, for 15 minutes from another book you may have at home when this is the case (we do not have Guided Reading on Thursdays). 

Each group has been working on "finger tracking;" the homework sheets reflect this skill. The children simply touch the black dot and read the picture or the letter sound they see. For example- "s" is read as "sss" while long " e" and "ee" say their own name and are read as "e." Some students may find what they are reading to be too easy at this time, but we are starting everyone at an easier level to get them started and to familiarize them with the program.

I appreciate you taking the time to support this program!
