Reading/Languag

Kindergarten students are busy
working in guided reading
groups each day! The goal of
a good reader is to be able to
recall what happened in the
story. You can help at home
by asking questions before,
during, and after reading with
your child. Look at the cover
and ask, “What do you think
this story will be about?”
During reading ask, “What will
happen next?” and after the
story ask your child to tell you
about the characters in the
story or about the important
events in the beginning, middle
and end of the story. Read
some great stories and have
fun!
