Reading Stamina
In class, we will be working on building our reading stamina. At home, students should be spending about twenty minutes each night engaging with a book. Students can read to you or listen to you read to them. Students can also listen to a story being read to them online, using a site such as Epic Books (www.getepic.com) or Raz-Kids. Students will be learning how to use Raz-Kids and will be getting their log-in information by the end of September.

Fundations- Unit 1
Fundations is a program that explicitly teaches students about phonics and spelling. The first unit of the program was taught to the whole class. Students learned that each letter makes a sound, sounds make up words, and each word must have a vowel. Below is a chart of the letters and keyword pictures that students use to help remember letter sounds:

Choosing Good-Fit Books
Readers talk about books
Try asking your child these questions after reading a fiction story:
- Which character was your favorite? Why?
- Which part was your favorite? Why?
- Can you show me which page was the most important part? Why do you think so?
- Retell the story across three fingers. What happened at the beginning? The middle? The End?
- Did you like this book? Why or why not?
