Home Reading Folders were sent home a few weeks ago to help your child in his or her quest to become an effective reader. Please try to read with your child at least 10 minutes per day. A Treasure Chest Prize will be awarded each time your child reads 10 books!
This year in Grade One we will be working hard using reading strategies that will help your child comprehend text better. Our class will work on a variety of reading strategies throughout the course of the school year. We will work on each strategy multiple times. The goal for your child is to be able to apply all of the strategies independently before, during, and after reading.
Reading is the most important skill a child learns in Grade One, where the emphasis in on learning to read. By Grade Two, the emphasis shifts to reading to learn. Therefore, the stronger your child's reading skills are, the easier Grade One will be!
Thanks so much for your support at home!
