Your child will bring home a reading assignment every night Monday - Thursday.
* Please sign their notebook.
Some suggestions :
* Provide a supportive
reading environment.
* Find a place away from distractions.
* Choose a time that suits both of you.
* When your child makes an error...Wait
* Wait a few seconds. Allow time to think.
* Encourage to think about the meaning.
* Ask them to focus on the first letter.
* Ask them if that looks right.
* Allow them to use picture clues.
* Praise your child if they correct it.
* Keep the story flowing
- tell them the word.
If you have time, at the end take your child to those pages and ask if they can find the “tricky words.”
Also ask them a few questions to see if they understood fully what they had just read.
Thank You

Your child is one of our
Class Reporters tomorrow.
Please could your child have something to report.
* Local, National or International News
would be good to develop current events knowledge.
Here are some other ideas to help :
- a favourite book - a nature find
- a magazine article - a poster
The report is to be told, not written.
Please return this note to school tomorrow.
Thank you

Class Reporter Cards :
Makes news time more than just “morning talks” and gives the students a chance to
prepare something a little more interesting and also gets their parents involved.
Make a set of about 6 of these and put the numbers 1—6 in the right hand circle or make each circle a different colour. Laminate or dura-seal them to give extra protection.
Give these out the day before you expect the student to give an oral report.

Choose your own homework assignments.
You must choose at least three activities from the grid below.
You may choose them diagonally, horizontally or vertically.
Colour in the box on the grid when you have completed it.
Parents you are encouraged to assist your child as needed
to make homework a positive learning experience.
