Today your kindergartener brought home a TAKE-HOME book bag. They were VERY excited that they were taking books home to read to you! You will find inside their bag a note with more details about this reading program. Their bag is labeled with their name and days to return their books. In your child’s bag is a parent note with some tips, a parent comment sheet, a reading superpowers bookmark (more bookmarks coming) and a book just right for them to read.
Please remember that TAKE-HOME books are not meant to be challenging for your kindergartener to read. They should feel successful and be able to read these books to you. We will save the challenging books for school time. Our goal is to read at a B level by the end of February and a D level by the end of the school year. Every child is different and develops reading skills at different times.
Some kiddos will reach these goals, some will not be ready yet, and some will pass these goals. Please accept and celebrate your child’s ability at this time. Please encourage and support your child when they read their book to you. It is good to read the book more than one time and on different occasions!
PLEASE READ & RETURN
YOUR CHILD’S BOOK BAG ON
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22.
On Wednesday, your kindergartener will read their book with a parent volunteer at school. Then they will pick out a new book to bring home. Happy Reading!!!!
If your child was bringing home a book baggy earlier in the school year, this class-wide Take-Home Book Program will be replacing that, so you’ll only need to keep up with one bag and one set of instructions.
