This week is a big week! You will be helping your child set a routine that HOPEFULLY sticks for the rest of their life. Please set aside some time Tuesday night to pick a quiet place for your child to read. Show them the timer and explain that they should read for 20 or more minutes each night. I know this is not and easy task. Trust me! I have a 2nd grader too. The last thing he wants to do is come home and read. BUT, it is so important for their growth. You will see them grow in everything if they are good readers. Things that count as reading...
-Them reading out loud to you.
-Them reading in their heads (with you asking detailed questions after they are done).
-You reading to them. Pick out a chapter book together and read a few chapters to them each night.
-Them reading to a sibling.
-Them reading online (roadworks.com or getepic.com <-- epic costs money, but has a huge selection).
I cannot thank you enough for making this happen! You will watch your child love reading more and more throughout the year.Pictures from the week:
