READERS

GO HOME READERS
Every Friday your child brings home a ziploc bag with a reder for the week and the skill or skills we worked on in small group.  What a joy it is for me to have this time with my friends and listen to them read.  I hope that this is a special time for you  and your child to read together.  I want them to understand that every story is an adventure.  Reading can take you to so many different places.  If your child struggles with the reader, I encourage you to  help them sound out the words and use their picture clues.  If they sail through it with no problem, we love to come up with alternate endings, additional characters and ideas that would extend the story. 

Here are a  few ideas of things to talk about with your child as they read to you. 
*main characters in the story
*interpret the illustrations (before reading the text)
*discuss story problem
*where does the story take place
*sequence of the story
*discuss your favorite part of the story
Thank you for all you do.  This is truly a team effort.
