What is Reading? 
     Very simply, reading is getting meaning from the printed word. Though 
the definition may sound very simple, the act of reading is a very complex 
one. The brain must do many things, quickly and simultaneously. When 
children are learning to read, they must learn the language, have background 
knowledge (at least enough for the reading task they are involved in) and 
learn what the symbols represent. 
     Beginning reading involves getting meaning from simple text. The text 
is almost always far below the child's listening comprehension ability. The 
focus is generally on having students work on instantaneous word 
recognition. When children can instantaneously read words they encounter 
frequently in text, they build their comprehension levels and begin to read 
fluently.

**Kindergarteners will wait in the kindergarten hallway each morning.  
Please send some type of book (reading, word search, puzzle) in your 
child's backpack to be read or worked on quietly and independently in the 
hallway before school.  Please keep in mind that teachers go on duty at 
7:40, so parents are encouraged not to drop off your child before then.
I will take the children into the class at 8:00, not before.  It is VERY 
important that your child is there at 8:00 in order to have time to put 
things away and have time to work in their journals.
