Homework+Schedule

This homework schedule is designed to help your child practice the basic skills that they will need to become a successful reader. It focuses on building fluency through high frequency word development and repeated oral reading. The books that will be sent home in your child's weekly book bag will be at their independent reading level, giving them the opportunity to become even more automatic with their reading skills AND giving them a chance to build confidence and feel good about their reading. I hope you find the homework schedule easy to use. Your child will do the following things daily:

1. Choose a high frequency word activity to play. 2. Read the books from the book bag. 3. Complete any worksheets.


 * Bookbags will be sent home on Mondays and returned on Fridays. Another book bag full of books will not be sent until the previous one is returned.**


 * ===Establish a regular time for doing homework with your child.===
 * ===Work in a quiet, orderly space with minimal distractions.===
 * ===Stick to the routine. Complete activities in a certain order so that your child will know what to expect.===
 * ===When all else fails... READ. Read to your child, read with your child or send your child off to read to the family pet. Just READ!===
 * ===Have fun!===
