Children are participating in daily reading groups, in addition to weekly Reading Buddies. Please encourage your child to read daily at home, as well. Reading plays a critical role in a second graders development. Not only should your child be able to read the words on a page, but more importantly, he/she should understand what is being read. Without that comprehension piece, your child's reading is in vain. Please support your child by reading with him/her each day, and by making reading a fun and enjoyable activity.
