Reading

We are wrapping up our second theme in reading learning about fables.  Ask your child about the Hare and the Tortoise, The Crow and the Pitcher and The Grasshopper and the Ants.  They should be able to tell you the moral and the lesson learned of each story.

We are also talking about summarizing strategies as we read-thinking about the characters, setting, problem, and solution.

I've been assessing your children to gather data about their reading.  Most children will regress over the summer.  You can help your child by reading with them EVERY night.  Ask questions about the story and talk about the book.

Check out some of the reading links to play fun games and meet some excellent authors.
