The "homework" of the Weakley Readers Reading Program is for you as a parent
to listen to your child read the book that is being brought home each night,
sign your name on the Parent Sign sheet, and return both the book and the
sheet back to school the following day. All children at Martin Primary
School are involved in the Pizza Hut Book It program and are given a goal
monthly as to how many books they need to read to earn their coupon for
their free personal pan pizza. Please be sure to read with your child each
night and sign the Parent Sign sheet.
While this seems simple, there is so much more that is learned by doing this
nightly. For instance, I encourage you to have a nightly routine of a time
and place to read. While I realize this is ideal, it may not be realistic in
today's hectic world; however, the practice of reading is one of the most
important things to be done in cultivating good habits which lead to school
success.
