Reading Homework

No poem today (Friday) as we worked on our Social Studies Inquiry instead.

Ideas for helping your child with their reading at home:
* Read the story and then retell the story in your own words, thinking about the sequence of events.
* Talk about your favourite character. What things have you found out about them? What kind of person are they? How would you describe them?
* Find rhyming words in the story - make a list of other rhyming words you know that rhyme with those words. Can you spell them?
* Does your reading sound smooth? Can you read it in a different voice? Think about how expression helps make your reading interesting.
*Talk about interesting or unknown vocabulary - what is another word you could use instead? e.g. summit/top, shop/supermarket/deli...

Don't forget that your child can also practise re-reading their poems, books from over the week, library books, chapter books, magazines, newspapers, or their favourite picture books. We love it when the children have a picture book they can read - feel free to bring it along and share with a group in Kohara.
