B-Bags
Your child will be bringing home a bag with one or two books for reading practice. Children select the books based on interest and appropriate reading level. Each student has been informed on the "best" level for them. If by chance they bring home a book that is too easy or too difficult it is ok. Books that seem too easy, help to build fluency (the rate at which your child reads and their expression). Those books that seem difficult may be read together, or if needed, you may read to them.
Reading every evening helps to build fluency, comprehension, and strategies for decoding words that are tricky. Like anything else in life, the more you practice, the better you become.
Next year, your child will be taking the MEAP (a state test) and no assistance in reading the materials is allowed. Understanding and using the reading strategies is necessary to becoming a capable reader.
There is a charge for any lost or damaged books or B-Bags.
