READING
Reading with your child on a daily basis is the single most important thing a parent can do to help a child become a reader!
Research indicates that 15 to 20 minutes of out-of-school reading time per day results in double the reading achievement gains usually expected from year to year. We strongly encourage you to spend time reading with/to your child everyday. Learning to read takes LOTS of practice. Please don’t expect your child to read perfectly. Enjoy this time together. Home reading should be a positive and enjoyable experience. The primary goal is to help your child feel comfortable and enjoy books.
Make it fun, so your child wants to read. Talk about the illustrations, characters, events, etc. in the story as you read.
Notice the little improvements your child makes and celebrate them! You are also welcome to do some of the reading.
Thank you parents for consistently listening to your child read each night. Please be aware, reading becomes more and more difficult as the year progresses. It is so important for your child to listen to reading and for you to listen to him/her read the stories and mini decodable books that are sent home.
The most fluent readers are the ones that have lots of practice!
