Literacy Ideas! - Arrange for older children to read to younger ones, and vice versa.
- Bedtime is 8:00, unless you're reading; then it's 8:30.
- Don't read every day- just the days you eat.
- Encourage your child to share stories with you.
- Hold a family read-a-thon: for at least one hour, NO TV, just reading.
Writing:
Fables are due tentatively May 9th.
