Dear Parents,

     Reading for fun and educational reasons helps to make a well rounded student.  Students should be reading one to four books a month.  Students should be reading books that they can comfortably read and comprehend.  A good test is to have the child read one or two pages out loud to you.  If they miss more than five words, the book may be to difficult  for them.  Also, ask a few questions about the material to make sure they understand what they have read.

    If you need suggestions or help finding books on your child's reading level, as always feel free to contact me anytime.
