Dear Parents,

You are your child's first and best teacher! Here are some ways to connect your child's home learning to the learning that takes place at school. You can support your child's learning at home by using the Take-Me-Home stories sent home each week. These Take-Me-Home materials have activities that relate to the Featured Book that the children have been reading at school and on the computer during Breakthrough to Literacy time. In addition, there are selected leveled books sent home for homework twice weekly that each child can read at their independent level. Set aside some time each day to listen to your child read these books - ten to fifteen minutes daily is great! Children also need to have a special place to keep their books and reading and writing materials at home so that they are convenient to use.

Read to your child every day!
