Homework: Homework completion has gotten so much better! Everyone had their homework folder with their reading book to turn in from last week. Now, please be sure you are completing ALL homework in the packet. Please read the front instructions page and all other pages completely to be sure you are doing everything correctly. This homework will benefit your child if done in its entirety!

Reading book tip: Try echo reading. You read a page, then have your child read that page. Be sure to have your child use their "magic pointer finger" to point to each word as they read. This will help make the connection between print and spoken sounds.
