Extra Extra Read All About it!!!

Introducing READ-O! Each month until the end of the year we will be sending home a new READ-O sheet. It is a fun and effective way for parents to practice literacy activities at home with their child. The format is like bingo with activities for students to complete as homework. Students can set a goal to complete five in a row, more than 5 or the whole page! These are simply ideas for practicing literacy skills. There is no consequence for not completing the activities however we think the kids will have a blast deciding which box to pick next. Our goal is for students to develop a love for reading. Depending on your child's abilities some activities will be harder than others...remember to keep it fun and challenging not frustrating. Even though it isn't the first of March yet, we are going to give you a sneak preview by sending home February's READ-O on Tuesday.
*Bonus-Minutes spent on READ-O count towards Reading Rodeo calendar!
