Homework is given every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night. Please help your child complete the assignment and sign the white folder. If it states to "echo read" the book, you read a sentence pointing to the words, then have your child model you. If it states to read the book, your child should read it to you. Talk about the pictures together before your child starts to read. Be sure to help your child to use his/her "powers" to confront any unknown words -You say: use the picture,or use letter sounds, or skip the word and go back to figure it out. Look for little words in big words, look for word parts, or self-correct. If he/she still cannot figure the word out, you can tell it to him/her. Telling the word is a last resort.
