Dear Parents/Guardians, 

Well, we sure have had some time to snuggle up and read at home during the past while! (That's in addition to sledding and building snow forts, etc!) I do hope you are setting an example for your child each day by reading for a little while whether it is the newspaper, a magazine, or a good book. When your child reads, you can really assist him by asking him quesions such as "What would you have done differently in the book?" or "Tell me about several of the characters."  If your child knows you are going to question him, he will learn to read carefully.

Be looking for information to come home soon about two upcoming workshops, one in February (How to Help Your Child With Homework) and one in March (Fun Ways to Help Your Child Learn).

If you have questions you may email me at campbeaa@rss.k12.nc.us.

Thanks for all you do,

Arlis Campbell, Reading Specialist
