Read! Read! Read!
Each week students are to complete a reading record sheet, aiming for 150 minutes per week.
Each week students are to complete a spelling activity and have a test on their words each Friday.
Math assignments should be reviewed daily at home.
Why Read?
The Rich Get Richer
Good readers are gaining a wealth of information about the world and a wealth of vocabulary. Readers who spend time reading are going to know a little bit about a lot more topics-and they will be better readers because of it. (Hirsch)
Are students reading enough outside of school?
The students who read too little are the majority of our children. The amount of book reading done outside of school by a middle level student was only 4.6 minutes per day. The struggling reader didn’t read at all. (Wilson)
Reading skills can only develop when they are exercised regularly. Learning to read is like learning to play basketball-practice, practice, and practice.
