As discussed at Parent Teacher Conferences, we are
beginning our home reading program On Tuesday
October 15, 2019. Your child will bring home a clear bag with a record
sheet and a book inside. Please return all 3 items when you want a new book.
Please keep the book in a safe place away from toddlers and pets. If the book
is lost the cost is $5.00.
Helpful Hints:
1.
Read the book 2-3 times but only
record once – you can read it over 2 nights.
2.
Have your child point to the words
as they read for levels A-E.
3.
Take time to look at pictures and
encourage your child to find things in the pictures. Ask questions.
4.
Support and praise is critical
for success.
5.
Beginning readers will be
memorizing some text.
6.
Look at first letters and
encourage use of beginning sounds.
7.
If your child reads incorrectly
eg. The grey cat went sleeping. Ask – Does that make sense? What would make
sense?
8.
Look for small words in larger
words. goes has go, sit has it
9.
Skip a difficult word and read to
the end of the sentence, then try the sentence again, this gives context clues.
10.Do
not make your child sound out a word when it is not possible, just try the
strategies above and then tell them.
11.Turn
the pages at the corner so they don’t rip.
12.
Practice sight words
Happy
Reading!
