Dear Family Member or Caregiver:
Welcome! This year your child will be building
important reading skills. By working together, you
and your child can become partners in learning.
Each week your child will bring home
• a Fluency passage that he or she will read
to you.
• a Take-Home Story for the two of you to read
together and discuss.
Using these brief texts, you can help your child
review vocabulary words and practice key reading
skills taught that week.
Your interest, praise, and encouragement are sure
to lead to your child’s success in school. Here’s to an
exciting year of learning!
Yours truly,
B
