Read... Read... Read!!!
I aspire to create life-long readers in your children. In order to do that I am asking that you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success. Research tells us that the amount of reading done outside of school significantly influences vocabulary, reading comprehension, verbal fluency, score higher on achievement tests in ALL subject areas.
Please ensure your child is reading at least 30 minutes every night. Students will get a planner where I will ask that they record the title of their book, and the pages read for every night of the week. Please sign your name at the bottom of their planner nightly verifying that they did this. I hope that the elimination of traditional homework allows your family the opportunity to eat dinner as a family, read together, play outdoors, and get your child to bed at a decent hour. |
