Reading Bags

Reading Book Bags

Starting Monday, September 25, your child will begin bringing home a book to read each night that she or he has chosen from their book box. I check in with everyone quickly to see their choices. Usually, students choose books they can read, knowing most of the words.

We keep a Parent Communication Sheet in the reading bag, so that if you can communicate with me to share your observations and comments. Please don’t feel the need to comment daily, just now and then, or as needed.

The reading book bags are blue. Books should come home each night and be returned the next day.

Thank you for helping us build joy and stamina around reading books!

First Grade is a time when we guide children to develop a love for reading.
