During First Grade your child will be given a variety of experiences with books and language, which will help your child develop a life-long love of reading and learning. This is the year to build your child's reading muscles!!
Ways to help your child become a better reader:
*Increase your child's sight word vocabulary. Words are everywhere and have your child find their sight words in magazines, newspapers or when driving in the car.
*Encourage your child to use his/her reading strategies when they come to a word they do not know.
