Take Home Library Books

TAKE HOME LIBRARY DEMO VIDEO 

Yay! Take Home Library Books came home today. If your child does not have a book, it is because they did not return their permission slip, they owe a $5 fine from a lost or damaged book from last year or they are in reading recovery and have a different book to read.

Please read their book with them EVERY night (M - Th). If your child has the stamina, please have them read it 2-3 times to become fast and smooth (we call this fluency). Please discuss the story after reading. Discuss character, setting, problem, solution etc. Also, retell the story using time order words: first, next, then, last, finally etc. 

If your child's books seems way to hard or too easy, please just write your child's teacher know, and they will adjust the level.
