Dear
families,
Our reading program at
school is supplemented by daily home reading from each student. We will be working towards an end of
the year sundae party by earning a different piece of the sundae each month.
As well, one Home
Reading Reflection is due in at the end of the month along with the record of
reading minutes.
FAQs
When does my child hand it in?
The duotang is to be handed in to me at the end
of each month.
September 30 October 30 November 26
December 18 January 29 February 26
December 18 January 29 February 26
March 24 April 29 May 27
When and how much does my child have to
read?
Students are expected to
read out loud at home for at least 20 minutes for 5 days a week. If your child happens to miss a
day of reading, they can make up for it the next day. In all, your child must read a minimum of 100 minutes per
week in order to earn a piece of the sundae.
What do I have to do with the Home
Reading Tracker?
The Home Reading Tracker is designed to let us
keep track of what your child is reading and how much is being read. Have your child record the book title,
date and minutes every time he/she reads.
Please place your initials in the correct column after you have read with
your child.
What are Home Reading Reflections?
The Home Reading Reflection is an opportunity
for your child to summarize what was read and share any thoughts about the
book. My expectation is one
reflection done each month [even if the book is not finished], although
children are encouraged to continuously summarize and reflect while they are
reading.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and
support. I am looking forward to the reading we will be doing this year.
Here are all the sheets you'll need for Home Reading. I should be adding them into the duotangs as we need them, however, if I should forget or if you run out of sheets before I see your duotang again, please feel free to print off your own copy at home.
