1. THE MORE YOUR CHILD READS, THE BETTER HIS VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT AND
COMPREHENSION SKILLS.
2. YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO READ FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES EVERY SCHOOL NIGHT. HE
OR SHE CAN NEVER SAY THAT THEY HAVE NO HOMEWORK.
3. YOUR CHILD IS REQUIRED TO READ TWO 85 PAGE BOOKS EVERY MONTH. AUGUST
BOOKS WILL BE PUT ON THE SEPTEMBER BOOK RECORD. TWO BOOKS MUST BE A.R.
4. YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO KEEP A LIBRARY BOOK WITH HIM/HER AT ALL TIMES SO
THAT HE/SHE CAN READ WHEN FINISHED WITH DAILY WORK.
5. READING TAKES YOU TO EXCITING NEW WORLDS. HOWEVER, YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO
READ BOOKS THAT ARE NOT TOO DIFFICULT SO THAT HE/SHE DOES NOT BECOME
OVERWHELMED.
6. A BOOK AT GRADE LEVEL OR SLIGHTLY BELOW IS YOUR BEST BET FOR PLEASURE
READING.
7. A PERSON WHO READS IS NEVER BORED. HAPPY READING.
- IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH, FLASH, FLASH, FLASH, FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
SOME CHILDREN ARE COMING HOME AND SAYING THEY HAVE NO HOMEWORK
BECAUSE THEY FINISHED AT SCHOOL. NOT TRUE. MY CLASS MUST READ TWO
EIGHTY FIVE PAGE A.R. BOOKS EVERY MONTH. THEY MUST ALSO TAKE THE A.R.
TEST IN ORDER TO COUNT IT. THEY MUST READ 170 PAGES EVERY MONTH.
SOME CHILDREN READ AS MANY AS 1,600 PAGES EACH MONTH SO IT IS POSSIBLE.
IF YOUR CHILD HAS NO HOMEWORK, TELL HIM/HER TO READ FOR 60 MINUTES.
