Home Reading Begins!

Dear Mom and Dad:

I had spring photos done today!

We looked closely at the letter Zz. Ask me to tell you what sound Z makes and to draw it in the air for you. Ask me to tell you what animal we drew today in our visual journals.

I have a home reading package in my backpack! Please review the letter and read the book with me.  I have a tracking sheet that I need to fill out as well.  I need to read my book at least 4 times. Once I get to four times, ask me to read the sentences backwards to show that I know the words and not just memorizing the book.

When I have read my book at least 4 times within 3-4 days, I can return the zip lock with my book and tracking sheet and then I will get a new book to read. There really is no set date to exchange the books, when you are finished. I learned a new reading strategy today that we call “peaking poodle”.

Question of the day: What does the reading strategy “Peaking Poodle” mean?

Love,

Kindergarten

    Looking at the first letter sound and then looking at the picture to make sure it makes sense.

    The “Peaking Poodle” reading strategy is using the picture to figure out the words.
