The children are reading daily at school.We read individually, with partners from our class, with our second grade book buddies, with the teachers and visiting parents, in small groups, and as a whole class. We read many different kinds of books, as well as ones on many different reading levels.
Each day the children have been bringing home two books from our classroom. One is on a topic related to our discussions at school and the other is a class book that we have made. Thank you for reading each of these books nightly with your child and returning them each day to school. This is an important companent in our children's reading skill deveopment.
Once or twice a week the children will start bringing home a third book in an envelope. These books will be ones that we have practiced reading independently. Your child will be able to read these books to you with little or no help. Please praise all reading efforts. All reading is to be enjoyed and celebrated. Please return the book the next day in the envelope provided. There is a space on the back for you to sign.
Thank you for your assistance.
