The kinders have had a hankering for reading lately so I figured it was time to start take home reading! They have been using strategies that good readers do all around the classroom, such as: 1) look at the pictures to figure out the words 2) look for chunks (er, oo, ee, ch, sh, ow) 3) sounds out the letters you know. Say it slowly and then faster and faster to make it sound right! 4) look for popcorn words 5) point to each word as your read them 6) tell your mouth to tell your brain, "I CAN DO IT!" Today I introduced the kiddos to their take home reading folders. This will be in their backpack EVERY NIGHT! They will read the book to you, copy the title onto the reading log page and then bring it back to school. At school, we will stamp the date, return the book and get a new one. Please read with your child every night and return the folder into their back pack every day. Once they read 10 books, they will receive a prize and move to the next level of reading! It is your child's responsibility to write the title. Please encourage this independent writing practice!! Reading is a tricky skill to acquire, especially at a young age. Some kids may have an interest in reading and some may not! Take home reading should be a positive experience. To start out, you can read a page and have them read it back to you while pointing to each word as they are read. Please encourage your kiddo to use the reading strategies stated above. You can also help them out by using the jolly phonic letter sound strategies that are stapled to the back of the folder. Each time we learn a new letter and sound, we also learn the action that goes with it! This is very helpful in making connections and solidifying learning letter sounds. Happy reading!! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
