Reading:
Please have your child read 4 days. Record the date, name of the book and parent initials on the reading log (in the homework folder).
Please find the login information for RAZ kids in your child's homework folder.
Your child should read 2 books from RAZ kids each week. It is recommended that you sit with your child as they read to assist with any words that they might have difficulty with. After they read, there may be a quiz to monitor their comprehension of the story. Once they are able to read the story fluently, they can record themselves reading. There is also an incentive portion where they will earn points to build a robot or pieces for their rocket.
***Reader's Response activities have been updated. Please read carefully.***
After reading 2 books on RAZ Kids, your child will pick 1 of the books to complete a READER'S RESPONSE. Please refer to the attached document in the resources to complete the Reading Response activity. The Reader's Response should have at least 4 sentences.
Your child may record the books they read on RAZ kids in their reading log.

After your child has completed that activity, have them put an X in that box. The word study menu directions and the word study menu are in the homework folder. Your child will use the sight word cards that have already been sent home to complete one activity a week.
