Interesting Insights

Rereading information is so important.  The students are bringing home the story "Henry & Mudge" to reread to you.  (It is not very often that we have the luxury spending 8 school days on our Reading Story.)  You will notice our fluency (rate of reading) sounds more like a story than a one word at a time fresh reading.  You will hear our character voices and 3 word phrasing.  If you do not hear these traits please begin to work on them when you read together with your child each night.

Locating pages is an interesting event.  Please use their Reading Book tonight and write down the number of a page you want them to find.  You can guide them with words like "turn the pages forward"  or "you need to go backward".  You can provide helpful suggestions like "turn more than one page at a time" or "do you think page number 14 would be in the back of the book or close to the front of the book".  The students need to practice the skill of finding pages.  I am hoping to have your help practicing this skill a couple times a week or more.  Please don't wear down your students, but 5 minutes of practice each time will definitely help us improve this skill.
