Weekly Fluency and Comprehension Activity

This week's homework from Building Reading Comprehension and Fluency is entitled, " And You Think Your Mom is Strict!" and it is due on Friday. It's a little compare and contrast activity to help us appreciate the 21st century.



The following letter has been reprinted from a previous week...

Reading well is a key to success in school, on state and national tests, and in life in general. We would like to invite you to help us to help your child become a better reader. It's simple. All you have to do is help your child with one short. homework assignment each week.

Each Monday, your child will have a short reading homework assignment that asks your to listen to him or her read out loud and answer a couple of easy questions. Included in the brief instructions will be a hint, or tip, that hou can use to help your child with the assignment.

That's all there is to it!

You will have all week to complete the assignment and your child will get credit for doing the work. Just sign at the bottom indicating that you did, indeed, listen to your child child read out loud and help him of her with the questions.
