Ways to help your children at home in Reading:

 Have your child practice reading out loud to you.

 Discuss stories with your child.

Retell the story including a clear beginning, middle and end. 

Make connections (think about how the story reminds you of something in your life or another book)

Identify the story elements- character, setting, problem and solution.

Practice reading the Sight Word packets for fluency practice. (go back and reread so it sounds smooth!)

After reading a non-fiction book.........

Write down keywords to help you remember the main idea.

See if you can recall information by looking at the key information.

Make a list of two facts you learned.
