| Here are some important things to remember:
* Remember to review and sign your child's agenda every day.
* Success records must be signed:
a) if your child has a check
b) ALWAYS on Thursdays
* Reading should be done nightly. To meet the 4th grade goal for number of
pages read in a school year, students should read at least 50 pages a week, or
10 a day. This is not many for most kids; encourage them to read the full 20
minutes. Students may count their own reading towards their reading goal, but
may count you reading to them as part of their 20 minutes.
READING ROCKS AT VAUGHAN!
As part of our literacy focus at Vaughan, students are being asked to
record the number of pages they read by the week. Pages read are to be
Students may write a rerecorded for the week on the yellow card stock reading
log. You may keep
track of the number of pages read each day on the Home Reading Log that was
in the Thursday folder on 8/30, on a sheet of notebook paper, in the agenda,
etc. We are still working on a daily reading log that will work well with the
yellow weekly log.
Independent reading done in school can count towards the pages read, but
not as part of the 20 minutes of reading after school. If you read to your
child after school, this may count toward the 20 minute nightly assignment,
but not toward the literacy challenge. It is important to record the number
of pages read as well as the titles of the books.
