Homework

In Kindergarten, I ask that your children read each night as their homework.  This can be done in a variety of ways, but the important thing is that they are being exposed to literature and reading.

1. Read a bedtime story

2. Have your child tell you a story just by looking at the pictures in a book.

3. Check out some books on tape from the library.  Listen to them in the car on the drive to or from school.

4. Allow your child to read to a stuffed animal or a sibling.

5. Have an older sibling read to your child.

It is just as important that your child sees you reading too.  I know it can be hard to do, but make some time where everyone in the family is enjoying a book.  They need to see you reading for enjoyment to emphasis that reading is fun!
