Reading Books

We will continue to send home story books every Friday. The story book is for you to share with your child, together finding words that your child knows. Please try to regularly read your child’s home reading book with them and talk to them about the stories. What did you like the best? What happened in the story? What happened at the beginning? middle? end? Encourage you child to find familiar words and sounds.
