Every week your child will receive a reading log on Monday. They have till the following Monday to turn in their reading log. Each night they are assigned to read for twenty five minutes. They will record the number of pages and minutes they read that in their reading log. Please don't forget to sign their reading log each night. Missing signatures will result in a green slip.
Along with the reading log they have word study homework to complete. This homework should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. On Monday your child will bring home a list of words with tasks to complete each night. This sheet will stay in their EAGLES Folder (homework folder) all week. They will turn in their homework on a separate sheet of paper each day. Every Friday they will be tested on the words from their list.
