2.  Read for 20 minutes everyday.  This may be a library book, home reading book, or a book online.  Comprehension is the overall goal of reading, so please make time to talk with your child about what they are reading.  You can ask them to retell the story, talk about character emotions, or even discuss important information within the pictures.

3. Tell and Show: Tell and Show is a great way to help your child develop their drawing and writing skills.  Please allow your child to draw and colour their picture on their own.  You may help your child come up with the clues for their object.  Please have your child write at least one of the sentences independently.  If you are concerned that we won’t be able to read it due to the “kid spelling” please just scribe for your child underneath.
