Dear Parents,
The best thing you can do for your child in regards to their literacy journey is to read to them everyday. Read the book then let your child retell the story to you. Have them read the pictures and try to read some of the words. These are all ways for them to read a book. It is important for them to have "Good Fit Books." Good fit books for kindergarten students are picture books, books with a few words to a few sentences on each page. I have asked the children if they have alphabet books at home and many have told me that they do not. I encourage you to have alphabet books available for your child at home to read.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Catton
