Reading Assignments

For all of the students that I teach reading to nightly homework will be to read for 30 minutes.  The students have the choice of bringing home their reading books, or reading something they have at home or their library books.

Helping your child read at home

When helping your child choose a book to read a good way to determine if the book is on your child's reading level is to use your fingers.  Have your child read any page out loud in the book.  For every word that your child misses hold up one finger.  For most books if you have all five fingers up, the book is probably too hard for your child right now and needs to either be read to your child, or put away until your child's skills improve.  If your child is struggling with just trying to read the words then he/she is does will not be able to comprehend what is being read.  A good reader is one that can not only call words, but can also make sense of what he/she is reading.
