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
