Encourage Your Child to Read Along
I have been trying to encourage my students to read along when another person is reading out loud. Some students do this naturally and always follow along. Others, however, only read when it is their turn to read out loud. This means that they are getting 1/5 or 1/6th of the practice that a student is getting who reads along silently with the reader. I would appreciate any words of encouragement you could give your child in this regard.
Character Counts - Trustworthiness
During February we are working on the Character Counts pillar of trustworthiness. Being trustworthy is so important to good character. Employers are always seeking employees that they can trust to do a good job. Committees of all kinds want members they can trust to complete the tasks for which they have volunteered. When you see something on the news about a person who has been trustworthy or not so trustworthy, take a moment for a discussion with your child about that person.
