What is the pink slip in the homework?

About the pink slip in the homework					
	First off, I don't use the pink slip.  It is used to check to see if 
you are reading the weeks story with your child at home. I trust that you�re 
reading with your child, I don�t need proof. I will be sending books almost 
every week. These stories are important because they include high frequency 
and spelling words, they emphasis word recognition and they practice 
multiple phonic skills. It is so important in these next few years that 
children read multiple times a day, repeating all these skills makes them 
become better readers. If a child is a good reader, there understanding of 
text, formatting of speech, writing ideas and many other reading skills are 
improved greatly.

What can I do to help my child become a better reader?

Read to and with your child everyday. The more your child is exposed to 
language, the easier it will be for him/her to develop and incorporate new 
skills in reading and writing into classroom activities.

Help yor child to recognize the high frequency vocabulary words for 
automaticity. Automatic recall will help your child with reading fluency and 
comprehension.
