New Nightly Homework Assignment

Next week your child will begin bringing home a short decodable reader (a small book with color pictures and about eight pages). These decodable readers are in addition to the black and white phonics reader sent home once a week. Your child is supposed to read the decodable reader for homework nightly until it can be read fluently with no errors. I will be splitting the students into two groups, and your child will either read with me every Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs. As each book is mastered, s/he will receive a more advanced book to read. I will log when I read with your child on the back of his/her behavior log. Please note when you read with your child on the back of the behavior log also. Please place the decodable reader in your child’s blue folder every night. This way it will be there for us to practice in class. Thank you for helping your child learn to read!
