Reading At Home
Reading to your child is
the very best way to convince him/her that reading
is a fun and a valued family
activity.
Our reading program
provides leveled books for
your child to take home.
Each child will receive a
copy of a class book after
leveled reading groups
have been established. This
week. Your child is to
keep this copy and begin
building a little library of
their own, with books they
can read to themselves and
family members. Every
child is very excited about
reading . Please encourage
them to read to you every
night. Enjoy this time
together.
