Dear Parents/Guardians,

Reading homework is sent home 1-2 days a week.   Homework is always sent home in your child's black homework folder.  Your child only has homework if you see the black folder in his/her backpack. 

Some nights your child will have a decodable reading book to practice.  These are books that focus on the phonics skills that we are working on in class.  Your child should read these books to you or another adult.  After listening, please sign the parent signature sheet in the back of the folder and return the book and folder to school.

Some nights your child will have a book to practice that he/she read during our Guided Reading class.  These books are selected based on your child's individual reading level.  Therefore, every child will have a different book to read. Your child should read his/her Guided Reading books to you or another adult.  After listening, please write down the name of the book on the Guided Reading signature sheet, sign the sheet and return the book and folder to school.

Please call me at the school if you have any questions regarding homework.  There is no set schedule for homework.  I send the books home when I feel that the children are ready to read them to you and your family.

Thanks, Miss Schmidt
