Home Reading:

As part of our Language Arts program, we have started learning about choosing "just right" books.  This is a very difficult skill which children need to practise throughout their school careers.  A just right book is a book which a child should be able to read with a great deal of independence, however it should not be so easy that there are no challenges.  Today, as a first step to choosing a just right book,  we discussed how just right books should allow the reader to find 2 or 3 challenging words on a full page of text.  If there are more than 3 words, the book is most likely too difficult; less than 2...too easy.   Please help to encourage your child to select just right books.
