Homework

• Read to your child every day.  Any book that your child likes is a good book. Ask your child questions about the story. 
• As your child begins to be able to read to you, help him/her sound out decodable words, and use picture clues to support more difficult words.

• Practice sight words with your child. All of the first grade teachers are working on sight words with their students, and have probably sent a list of words to learn home.  Lists are also available on this class web at: http://www.carteretcountyschools.org/nes/teacherwebs/ghook/sightwords.htm or click on sight words on my home page.

• Support your child in any homework he brings home.  Go over it with him/her.  Help as needed.  Make sure homework is done every night.
