Greetings from Title I
Students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades have been practicing the reading vocabulary words by reading them orally and using them in sentences. They have blended the sounds being practiced in the phonics lessons to read words orally. They have identified the vocabulary words and practiced phonics skills to read words orally from their leveled readers or in decodable passages.
A vital part of your child's education is reading at home every day. Parents reinforcing to their children that reading is important will provide the foundation for success in their children's lives. Here are some ideas you as parents can use to help your child with reading: (1) Find out what your child enjoys reading. When you know that topic, be on the lookout for books, magazines, and newspaper articles that they would be interested in reading. (2) Go to the library together. Suggest looking for interesting books together. (3) Talk to your child about what they are reading. It can be a library book or a school reading book. (4) Read aloud to your child no matter how old they are. (5) Surround your child with reading and literature. Children need to see parents and family members reading. Parents should point out interesting articles to their child and connect the real world to reading as much as possible. (6) Play games involving words and sounds. give your child the opportunity to explore letters and words whenever possible.
