Word Rings: Each week your child will receive a set of new words for the week. Please have your child read these words as often as possible. When your child is able to read the words to me it will be stamped and removed to make room for more words. Please remember to keep rings in folder after practicing words. It is your child's responsibility to take care of the word ring. Reading Log: Daily Reading at home will be an important part of your child's first grade reading program. Every minute your child spends with a book bring him or her closer to becoming a fluent reader. Early readers can gain skill simply by sitting down in a quiet location, and looking through a book. Parent reading, or along with a child is even better and highly encouraged. Please spend 10 minutes reading Monday through Thursday, and fill out the reading log form. Reading Logs will be collected every Friday.
