Parents, please read to your child every day and ask them questions about what they have read.  Who?  What?  When?  Where?  Why?  How?

 They should be able to recognize their letters by Christmas and the sounds by January.  We will begin reading in January!  If your child doesn’t know their letters … Practice, Practice, Practice.

 Thanks for your help!
