R.A.H (Read At Home) & Reading Worksheet

R.A.H. Forest Ridge is starting a school wide at home reading program, R.A.H. Each Thursday, students will bring home a bookmark/reading log to track their reading at home. This will help encourage kids to become better readers and promote reading outside of school.

Today they took home their reading log and it's due on Tuesday. We didn't send them home on Thursday because we wanted them to all hear about it at the assembly. After today, students will always receive their reading log on Thursday and it will be due on Tuesday (so they won't HAVE to read on Wednesday's, but I do encourage it).

Students need to read for at least 20 minutes. They can read to themselves, to a parent and/or sibling, or a parent can read to them!

Reading Worksheet
We will be practicing/working together on the reading worksheets in class for a few weeks before I send home the reading worksheet. I will be sending home the first reading worksheet on Thursday, October 1st, along with the R.A.H. homework. I encourage students to work on these with parents. They will also be due the following Tuesday.
