Reading Homework
Students in elementary school should read or be read to at least 20 minutes each evening. Strategies for Parents to Help Children Increase Reading Success:
• Invite your child to read with you every day.
• When reading a book where the print is large, point word by word as you read. This will help your child learn that reading goes from left to right and understand that the word said is the word seen.
• Read your child’s favorite book over and over.
• Read many stories with rhyming words and repeated lines. Invite your child to join in on repeating parts. Point, word by word, as your child reads along with you.
• Discuss new words. For example, “This big house is called a palace. Who do you think lives in a palace?”
• Stop and ask about the pictures and about what is happening in the story.
• Read from a variety of children’s books, including fairy tales, song books, poems, and information books. From Reading Tips for Parents, U.S. Department of Education Available online at http://www.ed.gov/parents/read/resources/readingtips/index.html or call 1-800-USA-LEARN.

Volunteers
Volunteers are needed Monday-Friday to assist with individual students and small groups. Please let me know if you are interested in working in the classroom or if you would like to help out with special projects at home. Throughout the year there will be a variety of special classroom activities and celebrations. I encourage you to attend these functions when possible and support our students by sending needed supplies or treats. Your support is greatly appreciated :)
