Congratulations to the students of both the Junior and Senior Battle of the Books teams! We participated in the Round Robin tournaments at the Halton Hills Public Library this past week. We placed in the top 2 teams for both tournaments, and as a result both teams will get to participate in the final Grand Battle later in April! We had so much fun and it was so great to see our students high fiving each other and working together. These kids have been working hard and will continue to practice to see who will be the champion school in Halton Hills! Thank you to the Halton Hills Public Library for putting the resources into this important program.
LISTENING TO KIDS READ
Beginning readers need lots of practice reading out loud. But we don’t always have time to listen to them practice. Try these audience ideas for your child’s practice time:
Let your child read to a stuffed animal, to a younger sibling, or to him or herself in the mirror.
Facetime with a grandparent or extended family member.
Have your child record a video of him or herself.
TAKE AWAY: Have beginning readers get lots of practice reading aloud to various audiences.
