Today the students will find their October home reading sheets in their mail slots. The goal for each student is to read (or be read to) 20 minutes a day for 20 days of the month. The benefits of reading as a student are plentiful, and it is also so important for students to hear adults reading to them! Adults reading provide a model of fluency, pronunciation, and expression for students. It also provides an opportunity for dialogue about the story, which is helpful for comprehension.
So, if you can, choose a book, or even a series, and set aside some time to read with your child, as well as encouraging them to read on their own. The pay off will be huge!
