Reading between home and school is an important part of my reading program. The children are polishing their skills as readers, therefore it is imperative that they read, read, and read some more! Consistent daily reading will expose children to various authors’ styles and will improve fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. My main goals are that the children will become fluent readers, choose to read for both information and pleasure, and develop a passion and love for reading. ** Students are expected to read 25 minutes every night and fill out their reading log!
