As the message below states, reading is your child's homework each night. Mrs. Motti sends home reading log sheets at least monthly. You should be sending in a list of 25 books each month. Your child gets to put up a sticker on his/her reading chart for each book that he/she reads. This is a big deal for the children. Please help them to be able to participate in this activity. Reading with your child each night will help ensure your child's school success.
The most important homework your child can do is read or be read to. Our goal is to encourage in your child a lifelong love of reading. You play the most important role as a positive model. Reading together involves reading to your child, with your child or listening to your child read. As your child becomes an emergent and confident reader, it is more important than ever to continue to read to them. The memories of reading and creating stories will last forever. I would like a list of at least 25 books each month that you have read to your child or your child has read to you. This is less than one book each night. What better way to end the day, than quiet time with a book at bedtime. Asking your child questions about the story or asking him/her to retell the story helps develop comprehension skills necessary to progress as an independent reader.
