Yesterday I talked about reading in the classroom.... today, will be reading at home. All that hard work we are doing in class needs to be reinforced and practiced at home. I ask my parents to read with their child for twenty minutes per day. My principal shared this visual at a staff meeting last year.... she got it from Perry Lecompton Unified School District {I am not sure if this is the original source}...... It. Is. Fabulous. Click {HERE} to go to the Perry Lecompton site. I also found that the High-Tech Teacher Blog has retyped the same visual I just shared and added a Spanish version too. Click {HERE} to download her English and Spanish PDF explaining WHY a child needs to read for twenty minutes per day. The website Colorin Colorado has some great tip sheets for parents {click here} I have found {this link} by Mrs. Samuelson very useful. She shares the "Handy Reading Strategies" and I have no idea who created this ..was it Mrs. Samuelson? It is one of those little helpers I have seen everywhere online because it is so useful. I retyped it and it is included in the freebie below. One of the first times I meet the parents in my classroom for a formal meeting is Back to School Night. It is a parent only evening where each teacher explains all the basic information about our school and what to expect over the course of the school year. This is also where I give them my PLEASE READ every single day speech. I also hand this out- Click on either image to download your own copy. Get this Freebie now! {The Handy Reading Strategies image is also available on a page with no other text} I hope you can use these, too! I'll be back soon to post about how writing fits into the Balanced Literacy equation.
A practical, stress-reducing guide to help parents navigate the challenges of homework with their children—for success at school and beyond—from two experienced teachers and the founders of Teachers Who Tutor. In their sought-after tutoring business, veteran teachers Abby Freireich and Brian Platzer hear the frustrations of parents daily as they struggle to find the right balance in helping their child with homework. For parents and kids alike, homework can become a source of dread, and in some families, it can give rise to conflict. But, as Abby and Brian explain, navigating the minefield of homework is important to kids’ success in life: the homework not only supports what kids are learning each day, but it can also help build their confidence and lifelong skills like self-responsibility. Abby and Brian’s approach puts executive functioning-or the ability to plan and organize-at the center of their philosophy to encourage students to break free of the “let’s get to the answer already so that we can be done with the assignment” mindset and build complex thinking. As they illustrate, the job of parents is to help kids form strong and healthy homework habits, so that they become self-sufficient both at school and beyond. Taking the Stress Out of Homework demystifies the learning process by breaking down for parents exactly when-and how-to help children help themselves. Whether your child’s issue is time management, or their sticking point is organization or a specific topic, Abby and Brian know that different kids need different tools, and they cover solutions across all disciplines and address a range of stressful scenarios. Using real-life stories from their many years as educators, they walk parents through how to address anxiety around homework and support their child with reading, writing, and math, and they offer strategies for standardized test taking. Their goal is to help parents create an effective system so that homework doesn’t just get done, but it does its job and helps kids become successful learners for life.
