Book Buddy Bags

BOOK BUDDY BAGS: the book included in your child’s bag is chosen based on your child’s instructional level, which was determined from the mClass beginning of year assessments. While your child may be able to read all of the words, it is important that your child is able to recall many details (both fiction and non-fiction) and answer both explicit and implicit questions about the text. Your child should also be able to read fluently and with expression. In addition, all students should also focus on reading and responding in written format. I encourage all students to read the book several times throughout the week and then retell the story with many details in sequential order to an adult. After retelling orally, please have your child practice writing the events/details. Please remind your child that sentences should start with capitals and end with punctuation.
