Learning to read takes practice, practice and more practice.  I will describe what I will be doing at school to help your child.  I will also offer you guidelines for helping him or her at home.  Please feel free to ask questions about anything you are unsure of.

Remember

• Read together  every day!!!  Spend time talking about stories, pictures and words.
• Be your child’s best advocate .  Keep informed about your child’s progress in reading and ask the teacher about ways you can help.
• BE A READER AND A WRITER, Children learn habits from the people around them.
