As we approach the holiday season, everyone gets busy and starts rushing around to get things done. But remember, as we miss days out of school for the holidays, your child also misses days of reading practice. Please don't let your child lose ground over the holidays. Please have them read regularly. It would be the perfect time to get Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, and Uncle in on the act and let them listen to your child read. It would also be a good time to read new things like recipes or Christmas cards. It is also a great time to practice writing skills by letters to Santa or thank you cards to family members. Just remember skills not used fall behind over the break, so just keep reading.
If you are looking for gift ideas for your child, check out gifts for your reader. If you have found anything not on that list that your reader enjoys, please let me know and I will include it for the future.
Happy Holidays,
Miss Pappas
