Reading Take-Home Books & Sight Words

Your child is bringing home a take-home book (The Gift) Thursday in their folder. The children & I have read this book several times together at school. Last week's book was ....... The House.
For homework, each week the children are to read their book to 3 people. The can read to mom, dad, older brothers & sisters, babysitters, or grandparents. As your child reads their book, please make sure they use their pointer finger to "track" each & every word.
When they finish reading, please sign your name on the front cover & return the book to school the next day. If you don't have 3 people at home to read to, your child may read the book to someone twice & that person can place a #2 after their signature.
When the take-home book returns to school, your child earns a sticker. The take-home book will then be sent back home again. Once he/she accumulates 5 stickers, a small prize will be earned. I hope you'll save these small books & read them frequently for review & practice; by year's end, your child will have a collection of about 25 small books.
Also, you'll notice a ring attached to your child's folder. These cards are the sight words we are learning in school. The cards will stay attached to the folder for you to practice at home. As I introduce new words, additional cards will be added to the ring.
If you have questions about these assignments, feel free to call or email. Thank you for all your help & support at home with these two new important assignments.
