New Reading Homework


Dear Parents,

As we get into the second semester of the school year, the reading homework your child will bring home starts to look different.  I will be sending home their purple envelope with a ‘real’ book inside.  There will also be a sheet that has a running list of the books and a place for you to sign.  Your signature on this sheet tells me that you saw the book and you know your child practiced (and/or you helped them practice) the book.  You may also put notes for me on the sheet about your child’s progress.  

When you are done, please send back the book AND the parent signature sheet.

The homework envelope will no longer just come home on Thursday.    Each time your child brings the green envelope back, I will do my best to send it back home with a new book that day or the next day.  If your child does not bring back their purple folder, they will not get a new book to take home.

Reading Homework is especially exciting because your child comes to school every day!  The children who practice will have built a solid foundation for reading.

Don’t forget about those sight words (heart words)!  The goal by the end of the year is for each child to know 20 words, but the more they know, the better their foundation for first grade.


Please call or email if you have any questions about the homework.

Sincerely,



Kimarie Tacke
