Read books each night and practice fluency.  It should sound like you are talking when you read.  Make sure your child is reading the words and does not have the book memorized.  You can check by telling them that they will read it a “silly way”.  The “silly way” is to select pages out of order and have your child read the page.  You are working on accuracy and fluency.

Remember to use your best printing on your homework.  Use pencil

for writing and colored pencils or crayons for coloring.

Continue to read the books that are sent home each week.  Find words that are the same from one page to the next.  Try to read them without sounding them out.
