Good morning! As discussed at conferences, the best way to become a stronger reader is simply to read! At school, we focus on comprehension skills and strategies to enhance our reading abilities. We write reader’s responses, stop and jot, turn and talk and pull apart stories through discussion and conferring. At home, I want your kiddos to pick a book that they love and just read! Of course you can ask them questions about what they are reading, or even read a book with them, but at home, I just ask your child to read–no reader’s response necessary. Although there may be additional ELA homework some nights, the expectation for your child is to read 3-4 times per week for at least 20 minutes and log it on his/her reading log. The log is electronic (shared today in Google Classroom) and will be checked on Monday mornings. If your child prefers a paper copy, that is fine too. Or, they can log in the morning when they arrive to school! Happy reading!
