Every night please read 15-20 minutes with your child. Most nights there will be a book in your child's red folder they can read to you. Please have them read to you and re-read their book several times. You may also read other books to them or have them read to you. Please have your child write the titles of the books you read in their reading log every night! Spelling words are given at the beginning of each week and students are given a spell check on Fridays to see if they have learned their words. When they first receive their list they also take home two spelling activities to complete by Friday. Your child will also take home a reading response journal some nights. Most nights I will give them something to write about that connects with their reading homework. If not, they are to just respond in some way to something they are reading (write about their favorite character, retell the story, write what it reminds me of, etc.)
