At home reading
In our classroom each student will bring a book home every night. Most of the books will be at their individual reading level. These books are due back the next day at school. On Wednesdays, your student will bring home a library book. This book is also due back at school the next day. We share them in the classroom when we have spare reading time.
accelerated reader (A.R.)
All first graders will participate in reading comprehension quizes through A.R. by the end of the school year. When your student is ready for this advanced reading skill I will show them how to get on the computer to take tests. Most library books have tests that go with them and many of my classroom books do as well. The books will either have a sticker on the spine or inside cover if they are an A.R. book. Feel free to read books that you have at home and send the titles in with your child to school. I can look them up in the computer to see if they have a comprehension test with our A.R. program!
