Reading Log

During Quarter 1, your child is required to read at least 20 minutes for homework.  They have a Reading Log in their green HW folder which needs to be filled out BY THE STUDENT and then given to mom or dad for a signature to verify the time they read.  The box at the top is hard to read due to copying issues, so here's what it says:

 

Students are required to read for at least 20 minutes each night for homework.  This can be done independently or as a shared reading with an adult.  Parents, please sign this reading log each night and be sure to ask your child questions about what they read.  Try to dig deeper than, “What was your book about?”:  ask about the problem in the story and how the character(s) solved it, summarize the story, the lesson or message, sequence of events (What happened before __? What happened after __?), cause and effect, inferences, etc.  These kinds of discussions are what make students accountable for their reading and help them better comprehend the text!

Your child will be learning about Good Fit Books and how to use the IPICK strategy to find them.  Please read more about this in the Daily Five Overview letter that was in your Meet and Greet packet.
