Please encourage Reading!
Students would love for you to sit and partner read with them (you read a page, they read a page) and this would build great memories of your reading times together as well as model good reading fluency. Encourage your children to also pick books that are on their reading level by employing the Five Finger Rule. If a child misses more than 5 words on a page, the book is probably a little too hard for them. Make reading fun by answering all their questions and asking comprehension questions along the way. Happy Reading!
