REMINDERS:
Don't forget you should be doing Lexia and Zern a few minutes a day.

Read one or two of your books we sent you each day. It's really good practice and if you were at school, Beth and I would be reading with you each day. Keep up the good work.
* Parents - you can ask kids "what starts at the beginning of a sentence?" "A capital letter."
"What comes at the end of a sentence?" "A period. Or a exclamation point." Etc.
What do you notice in the picture? What do you think will happen next?
Show me the cover of the book.
*Use your pointer finger to read the words. Sound out as best you can. Use pictures to help you determine what the words may say.

Sometimes it is helpful to review your Alphabet letters and the sounds they make. Feel free to review your letter sheet before starting your reading.
