Today you will find a Reading Log and a classroom book in your child's Take Home Folder. This marks the beginning of first grade reading homework. I showed students how to fill out the log so they should be able to write their names at the top, the book title, and the "checks" to record the number of times read.
I check the Reading Log each morning and, if the parent has checked and initialed in the appropriate boxes, the student may select another book. If not, I'll assume this means that they didn't get a chance to share it at home the previous night, so I'll send home the same book again.
Please remember that the books that are sent home will be at your child's independent level. Students should not have to struggle through the book. However, if they struggle with 1-3 words, it's okay to help out!
Soon, I'll post some discussion questions that you may ask before, during, and after reading. For now, just sit back and enjoy your child's superb reading!
Happy reading!
Ms. Michelle
