The unit plan includes objectives from language arts, social studies, Chris Whitlock Itesearchers have found that fl D business Stan Wonderly The place to practice reading skills is in the home. Why should you spend time and money on your childs reading when that is the schools job? you may ask. Your childs teacher has your child for five hours per day, and your child must develop the basic skills of reading, math, speaking, listening, writing, and spelling. Also they teach social studies, music, art, physical ed, health education and science. The home should be a place where the skills that are taught at school are practiced regularly. The school should be connected and lots of good positive communication going on between you and the teacher should be the norm. Occasionally it is good for us to take a look at our efforts, attitudes and feelings about reading. These questions will help you decide if you are doing your part at home. Does your child see you read books, newspapers or magazines? Do you encourage your child to read to you daily? Do you read stories to your child? Do you have a library card and use yotr local library? Do you use books to find answers to your childs questions? Does your child have a place to put books, such as a personal bookcase shelf? Does your child respect books and handle them with care? Do you plan a time when the radio, TV are off, and you have a quiet time for reading? Do you subscribe to a magzine for you and your child? Do you talk about what your child reads? Do you take your child on . outings to broaden his or her interests and encourage curiosity about the wonderful world and discuss each experience? If you answered yes to 8 or more answers, reading is happening in your home. Five to seven yes answers -- nd more reading can happen in your home if you will use a few more resources. Four or fewer yes answers and reading can happen in your home if you begin a few steps. Try some of the others listed above. Remember you are your childs modeL Children are super loyal and frequently want to be like you. If you read, and let them know that you enjoy it, they will get thr message from you that you value reading.
