Dear Parents:
As the 2009-2010 school year comes to a close, I would like to assure you that the teachers and staff of Roosevelt Elementary will continue educating your child to the very end. The teachers and staff need your continued support by making sure your child comes to school with the necessary supplies that are needed for learning. Over the summer break, please make sure your child reads EVERYDAY.

Below are 8 ways to raise a better reader:

1. Have your child read to you everyday. Encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes a day.
2. Be patient-let your child read aloud at his or her own pace. Offer help only when needed.
3. Read to your child. Make stories come alive for your child when you read. Be animated and use different voices.
4. Read together as a family. Discuss what you read together. Ask questions, and listen attentively to your child’s answers.
5. Make reading time special.
6. Take along your child’s favorite books wherever you go. Read on the bus, in the car, in line at the store or in waiting rooms.
7. Take your child to the library often and check out a variety of age-appropriate reading material.
8. Be a role-model read on your own. By seeing how much you enjoy reading, your child will learn that it’s a great source of information and fun.
9. Utilize the Study Island internet program everyday (www.studyisland.com). Your child can access Study Island by using his/her school id number.


REMEMBER, by encouraging your child to read, you are helping to ensure school success.
