It is an exciting time at school. The kids are beginning to recognize sight words and sound out words. Reading is just around the corner! It is time to start the homework readers.
Your child will be bringing home a homework reader every Tuesday and Thursday night. The book is one they have chosen from the level tub. They are to read the book 3 times, pointing at each word as it is read before returning it.
Books must be returned to get a new one.
1st read– let them try to sound out the words but help them if they need it and read together. You are reading to try and figure out the words and point out picture clues and sight words.
2nd read– They should try to read alone. This time they are reading for comprehension.
3rd read– They should be able to read it quickly and are reading to improve fluency and expression.
Book Care– Please encourage children to take care of the books. They are my personal books to share. If one does get lost or damaged, let me know and we can discuss how to replace it. Most of the books came from 1/2 Price Books, book orders or ebay. You don’t have to replace the exact title but I would like it to be in the same reading level box so we don’t run out of that level books since 22 are out at a time.
As the books become too easy, they will move up to the next color box.. I will be reading with them in reading groups in class but if you notice the books are too easy let me know.
