Reading Log

This week your child will begin to have nightly reading homework. Typically, the log will be sent home on Friday and will need to be returned on Friday. This week, the log was passed out on Monday and should be returned on Friday. I am not planning on returning the response sheets unless corrections need to be made.

Your child should read for a minimum of two hours per week outside of school. You are free to spread this out in anyway which works for your family. For example, you may choose to have your child read 30 minutes each night, Monday-Thursday. Another option would be to have your child read for 30 minutes on Saturday or Sunday, and read for 15 minutes Monday-Thursday. Please find a system that works for your family and your schedule.

I have helped your child pick at Realistic Fiction book at his/her reading level. In class, we are studying character traits in reading and writing Realistic Fiction. This is why I request that your child stay within the Realistic Fiction genre.

Part of your child’s homework is to respond to questions regarding his or her reading, which you will find attached. On Friday, please have your child return the response sheet only. We will be studying Realistic Fiction through October, so you can save the response questions to be used again the following week. If materials are lost or left at school, a copy has been uploaded to my website on the Riverside Local Schools platform.

Reading Logs (the response sheets) will be taken for a grade. Please encourage your child to answer the questions in complete sentences with proper conventions.
