Today your kindergartener took home their very first TAKE-HOME book. They were all so excited when they found out they were taking books home to read today!! You will find inside their bag a blue or green note with more details about this exciting learning adventure.  Their bag is labeled with their name, a colored dot, and days to return their books. In your child’s bag are a step-by-step home directions sheet,  a parent comment sheet, a reading strategies bookmark and a book just right for them to read.  Remember that TAKE-HOME books are not meant to be challenging for your kindergartener to read.  They should feel successful and be able to read these books.  We will save the challenging books for school learning. 🙂 Our goal is to read at a B level by the end of February and a D level by the end of the school year.

Please encourage and support your child when they read their book to you.  It is good to read the book more than one time and on different occasions! 

BLUE GROUP – PLEASE RETURN THIS BOOK TOMORROW, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23.

GREEN GROUP – YOU MAY KEEP YOUR BOOK AT HOME UNTIL THURSDAY, JANUARY 25. 

These will be the first days that your kindergartener will read their book with a parent volunteer at school. Your child’s “group” color is noted by the dot on their baggie’s label.   Happy Reading!!!! 🙂
