Ongoing Reading homework for parents to assign:
In Reading class, our focus is to get everything done within our classtime. Student will not be assigned homework often in this class. Any assignments not completed in class will need to be completed at home. For those parents that would like their child to have something to do in each class, I would suggest that each child read a minimum of 20-30 minutes a night at home! Read with your students or ask students to tell you about what they are reading and feel free to ask for details or even their opinion of what they are reading. This will be a great comprehension builder and also quality time at home with your child!
