Home Reading

Today your child is bringing home new library books AND a Home Reading Journal.  We have been practicing writing books in the journal and students will need to write a minimum of 5 new books in their journal before next Wednesday.  Examples of what each entry should look like are given below.
Your child can read then document their library books and/or books that you have at home.  The person who listened to their reading should sign at the end of the entry.

Obviously, reading skills will vary at this point of Grade One, but I promise you it will get better.  Right now, there are reading options to use as your child is starting to read.  You can share read, where you read most of the words and they read the words they know.  You can read a page, they can repeat what you said while pointing at each word.  They can tell you the sound of the first letter, and take a guess at what the word might be.

Our goal is for them to love reading, and although the process is slow and often frustrating right now, I promise it will get easier!

Thanks for you support and Happy Reading!
