At Home Readers
We know that some of your kiddos may master their take-home books quickly and if so, that's great. However, we don't want them memorizing the words and lose purpose. If your kiddo is there, here are some ideas to help keep them engaged in their book and still learning.
- most importantly, do they understand what they are reading? Ask them questions about what they read like: Who are the characters? What is the setting of the story? What problem does the main character have? How was the problem resolved? For nonfiction texts: What did they learn about the topic?
- have them tell you the snap words they find
- they can write a list of those snap words
- write the snap words in a sentence
- write the words that were difficult for them
- write those difficult words in a sentence
- choose words to write in a fun way (pop-out words - we have been talking about them)
- have them identify the vowels and consonants in words
- make up a new ending to the story
- write a sentence telling about something they learned from the nonfiction text
As always, if you have any questions/concerns, please email your child's homeroom teacher. THANK YOU for your continued support!
