First Grade Reading Log Assignment
Daily reading at home, will be an important part of your child's first
grade reading program. As you may know, every minute your child spends with
a book brings him or her closer to becoming a fluent reader. Even children
who have not yet begun to read can gain reading skills simply by sitting
down in a quiet location, and looking through a book. Parents reading to,
or along with a child, is even better and highly encouraged!
Let me explain how our weekly reading log works. Every day after
school, your child will have to select a book for reading at home. It will
be your child's responsibility to read for at least 10 minutes. Please
visit your nearest public library for reading selections, if needed.
Your child will be keeping a reading log of all books read at home.
Every night, after reading, students will write the date and the title of
the book and have a parent or guardian initial it. (Parents may need to
write the date and title at first and turn this responsibility over to the
child as the year progresses.) Students will need to turn in their
completed reading log to school every Monday.
Over the school year, consistent daily reading will expose your child
to various author's styles and will improve your child's fluency,
vocabulary, comprehension and writing. Our main goal will be for your child
to enjoy reading and to choose to read for pleasure.
Please join me in guiding your children on their journey to literacy,
so that they can enjoy books and reading for a lifetime.
Thank you for your help, support, and cooperation with the reading log.
