It is incredibly important for your child to read every single day. Reading every day helps your child develop their language skills, imagination, creativity and emotions. It enhances concentration, provides entertainment and most importantly it sets your child up to succeed in life. Students will have their books changed on a (TBC). We have amazing helpers that spend a large portion of their time in our classroom switching books over for your child to read. They note whether your child has read the previous nights or not. Sometimes your child will receive a book they aren't very interested in or a book that is slightly too easy for them, that's okay! Use this as a teaching opportunity to let them know that in life we have to read things we don't always enjoy reading (like bills!), but we still have to read them. A book that is too easy for a child is great for developing fluency, something a lot of children need to work on. You can help build fluency by having your child read the book in the afternoon and then again in the morning (or on the way to school). If you'd like your child to have the book for a second night so they can get more out of it, or practise their fluency, leave the book in the KIT Folder and write a note in the 'comments' section stating that you'd like the book again. To put it into perspective: Student A reads 20 minutes per day = 1,800,000 words per year. Student B reads 5 minutes per day = 282,000 words per year. Student C reads 1 minute per day = 8,000 words per year. So how can you help your child become a better reader? The following document is full of tips you can use at home if you're unsure how to best support your reader at home. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
