*Parents:  Please read with your child from 15 minutes or more each day/evening.  It is important for your child to hear the language of reading (when you read aloud) and gain knowledge about inflection, punctuation, rhyming, and phonemic awareness.  (Yes, even at the older grades—we’re working on fluency and we need role models.)
