"Amelia's mouth, close it, tall stick"
Fabulous work:
Just to clarify how I am running my reading programme...
your child will have read a book in class that is at a challenging level for them (in guided reading groups). S/he would have worked on strategies to work out new words, practised his/her "story voice" for fluency, looked at features of text and may have, depending on level, studied spelling patterns.
Your child is then able to choose a book to take home to share with you. Often this is a "kit box" book - a range of easier books or books that they have read before.
The reasons for an easier book coming home are:
- I want your child to be successful reading with you so that you can all enjoy story time
- your child gets to choose what they would like to read and often they like to repeat books - it builds confidence and fluency
- reading at home should be enjoyable not hard work
If you have any queries regarding this then please let me know in person or by email.
Skoolbo
I will be sending home information about how to download Skoolbo and your child's login details. This is an optional tool for learning and children appear to enjoy the game-like feel of it. And it is free!
