Reading / Language Arts Information
Cool Websites!
Welcome to 4th grade ELA!! Reading is the #1 thing you can do with your child to increase learning. However, when it becomes a forced activity at home (homework) research does not support the fact that it increases learning. Therefore, I do not require documentation that your child has done any reading homework. Reading weekly DOES improve spelling, reading, vocabulary, and writing skills. Even reading daily to children exposes them to hundreds of new words each year! Therefore, I ask that you PLEASE make time for family reading each night. They can read silently, to you, or you can read to them! You can also let them do LEXIA (on line school program) at home providing you do not offer any help. You can even suggest they write nightly in a journal or google doc!
There will be a quiz every couple weeks over the Wordly Wise lessons. There are fun activities on line that can help your child study!
