We have been working on
summarizing. As part of this
work, we have been discussing
the main idea and details.
Knowing the main idea helps in
summarizing the text.
Question prompts that will help
you child summarize might be:
• What did you learn after
reading that section?
• What’s important about
this story/text?
Reading Recovery
First and foremost, thank you
parents for taking the time to
read those books that I send
home nightly. I greatly
appreciate the home/school
partnership. However, some of
those books have been
returning to school damaged.
Each book cost about $5-8
each. Your help, as well as your
child’s, to take care of these
books will ensure that many
students are offered a wide
variety of texts.
