Reading to Succeed in Third Grade
We are working hard to improve your child's decoding skills.
We are working on the following skills:
closed syllables
consonant digraphs
consonant blends
vowel teams
glued sounds
bonus letters
spelling rules
trick words
story retelling
We desire for your child to be able to decode any word that they come across
while reading.
One of the best ways to improve your child's reading ability is to have your
child to read aloud to you for 10 minutes every night. Please pick books or
reading materials that your child is interested in such as magazines or a
favorite book series. After you listen to your child read please discuss what
it was that you read. You can include this in their other homework by having
them read aloud from their Social Studies textbook or Science or their Math
word problems. You can do this without it being extra work just be a little
creative.
