Practicing reading at least 20 minutes every night will help you improve your reading. Your child's b-bag contains one or two books that should be “Just Right” for him/her. It should not be too easy that your child can read it and know every word and read it very smoothly. The book should not be too hard so that he/she has to fix-up 4 or more words on a page. This will make the book too hard to understand. A “Just Right Book” should challenge a child to practice using your reading fix-it strategies 2-3 times on a page. Your child's job every week is to READ BOTH BOOKS EACH NIGHT—Monday through Wednesday. He/she rereads the books each day so that by Wednesday, your child should be able to read the bookfluently like a story teller with great expression, appropriate pauses and a just right rate. If your child gets stuck on a word, use the bookmarker that is in the front pouch of the book bag. Please help your child complete the reading log in the b-bag by having the family member who listened to him/her read check off and sign that the assingment was completed each night. If you don't have the log, you can download a copy of the Reading Log Form .
On Thursday RETURN THE BACKPACK, READING LOG, BOOK, AND BOOKMARKER!!!!!! I hope you and your child enjoy the booksJ
