Reading
I want students to be reading EVERY NIGHT at home, in some way. At this age their reading levels vary greatly...I've had first graders who are reading chapter books and some who are still learning letter sounds.
My main goal is to make sure that they LOVE reading. You can read to them, you can read with them, they can read to you...just keep it upbeat, and fun. Reading should be an enjoyable task, not a chore. As they progress through the year, students will become more independent in their own reading and may want to read more to you, but until then just keep them interested and keep it fun =)
