Every student needs extra reading practice daily. The most effective way to become a better reader is to read, read, read.
Studies show that students lose valuable reading skills over the summer.
I want to encourage you to take time this summer to find at least thirty minutes a day for reading practice. Have an older brother or sister practice with them. Make a cassette tape of some books and have your child read along for thirty minutes a day, or decide on a special time each day when you and your child can practice reading together. The Arbor Heights School community is striving to make every child's elementary school experience as positive and productive as possible. We want to strengthen our partnership with parents by giving information on how to assist students to improve skills on various class and school assignments.
