IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
|
Please take time to read with your child each night. This can be reading to your child, with your child, or your child reading to you. Your child can echo read with you as well, in which he or she echoes or reads what you just read. Ask your child questions about what you or he/she read. For fiction (not real) stories, ask: Who are the characters?, Where does the story take place?, What happened in the beginning, middle, and end?, What was the problem?, How was the problem solved? For nonfiction (real) stories, ask: What is the topic? What is the main idea? What are some facts/details you learned? There are some activity ideas listed under the homework for each week to help your child with his/her reading. Your child should read for at least 30 minutes every day. If anyone has questions about the Reading Improvement program, please contact me. Find books that of interest to your child. For example, if your child loves sports, find books on different sports because your child will be more engaged in reading them. Research has shown that when children read books that are of interest to them, their reading ability becomes better because they are more motivated. If you are looking for good books for your child to read, the librarian will be able to help you when you visit your local library. Thank you to everyone who came to the Title I Reading Night last Tuesday at Whittier.
