| Daily Reading Logs |
| Dear Parents, ��� Daily reading at home will be an important part of your child's first grade reading program.� As you may know, every minute your child spends with a book brings him or her closer to becoming a fluent reader.� Even children who have not yet begun to read can gain reading skills simply by sitting down in a quiet location, and looking through a book.� A parent reading to, or along with a child, is even better and highly encouraged! ���� Let me explain how our reading log program works.� Your child will be keeping a record log of all books read at home in their homework folder.� This log will stay in your child's book bag.� Every night, after reading, children will write the date and the title of the book and have a parent or guardian initial it.� (Parents may need to write the date and title first and turn this responsibility over to the child as the year progresses.)� Students will need to return their reading log to school the next morning. ���� Over the school year, consistent daily reading will expose your child to various author's styles and will improve your child's fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and writing.� Our main goal will be for your child to enjoy reading and to choose to read for pleasure. ���� ���� Please join me in inducting children into the wonderful world of literature, so that they can enjoy books and reading for a lifetime. Thank you for your help, support, and cooperation with our reading log program. If you have any questions, please call or email me. Sincerely, Mrs. Miller |
