Library books, readers & "Just Right Books"

Students should have a library book in their backpack.  Please enjoy with your child, and don't forget to send it back next week!

Today, most children brought home their leveled readers from this weeks reading groups.  Our order was short and a few students didn't get them.  My apologies to those children and their families.  I hope to find an extra stash...

Today, we also discussed the idea of "just right books".  These are books where a reader can read every word in the book.  This may be a wordless book, a leveled reader, or what we call a "pattern book" (one where the words make a pattern and the pictures tell the story).  Even if a child is not really reading, in the adult sense, reading a "just right book" helps a student in the process of learning to read.

Have a wonderful weekend!
