Reader's Workshop

We are working on reading long and strong!  Good readers are able to read, without distraction for 10-15 minutes.  They read, think about what they are reading, and use strategies to solve tricky words, such as looking at the picture and using their letter sounds.  This school year we will be learning a lot of strategies so that we can move from Level D to Level J (grade level expectations).  That is a lot of levels, so make sure you are reading every night at home for at least 15 minutes. 

1 just right reading book should be coming home every day in your child's red folder.  Please return that book each day and a new one will be sent home.  If things are not coming home right away, please allow time, your child is learning new routines and this takes time.  We are understanding on this matter this first full week of school.  Next week we expect that your child will be more familiar with our routines.

Don't forget to visit Raz Kids.  We check every week to see how your child is performing and progressing.  Raz Kids
