Thank you for your support and patience during the first week of home reading. As mentioned in School Messenger home reading books will be sent home with your child on Thursday’s. We ask that home reading books be returned on Monday’s to allow for the three day quarantine period.
In Kindergarten we are all readers! Our goal is for your child to develop a LOVE of books and reading. With your child, practice and celebrate any one of the reading skills below:
1. Look and talk about the pictures
Why? To develop our oral language and imaginative skills
2. Point to each word as the adult or student reads
Why? To develop an understanding that text is read from left to right, top to bottom
3. Use Memorization to help us read
Why? To develop our confidence and comprehension
4. Use Pictures to help us read unfamiliar words
Why? To develop beginning decoding skills
After you have read a book with your child you may wish to:
Ask your child to identify popcorn words
Ask your child to identify the number of words on a given page
Ask your child what happened in the story?
Find words in the story, and have your child create rhyming words
Happy Reading :)
