Our Grade 2 Home Reading Program
Dear Families:
By now, I’m sure most of you are familiar with some type of
home reading program. I cannot stress
enough how important it is for students to be reading at home. The purpose of a home reading program is to
help “grow readers”, children who read competently and independently for the
joy of it. I encourage students to read for a minimum of ten minutes each night
from the literature of their choice. Attached
is a copy of the Home Reading Log that will go home each day in our home
reading bags.
How
the Home Reading Program Works
Books
Any book can be included and recorded as
part of our
Home Reading program. These include personal books, magazines, comic
books, books from the classroom, or books from the school
or public library. ln
the case of
chapter books,
each chapter can
count as a
book.
Record Sheet
The record sheet has
a place for you
(or your child) to record the title of
each book you
have read. Feel free to vary the columns in which you initial
the sheet; being
exposed to
literature
beyond one's reading level is both beneficial and enjoyable. Please have your child return
the record
sheet daily. Each completed "Home Reading" form entitles
your child an
entry in
our classroom
book raffle.
Book Exchange
Book exchanges for home reading
will occur daily.
lt is acceptable to read a favourite book
more than once,
but experiencing many different types of literature is encouraged, too. Unless your child is ill, books must be returned
each morning
as they are
part of the
classroom collection and must be available when needed.
