Parents Make the Difference

Imagine a kid who practices batting and pitching a ball to his dad an hour everyday all summer, from the time the child is three until he is eight. [May, June, July, August = 120  hours a year for 5 years]

Imagine a second kid - no practice, no training, has never slipped his hand in a baseball glove, has never run the bases, has never swung a bat, has almost never seen a full game played.

Imagine that they turn out the same day for Little League.

The skill level between these two young ball players is like the skill level in reading readiness of our incoming Kindergartners.

READING IS A SKILL
It is learned over a period of time, with practice,
and usually with the help of another person.

The most important 20  minutes of your day...
READING WITH YOUR CHILD.

The above information is a reminder from
The Reading Foundation

Irene Reither Primary School
Home Reading Program

 The IRPS Home Reading Program is designed to improve student reading. Daily reading with a child is the most powerful tool that can be used to ensure school success. Each adult and child has signed a contract stating that they will read together a minimum of 15 minutes a day, 16 days a month, or more. The adult checks off the minutes read and signs the child's form. The teacher then records the number of days and minutes read. The following chart shows the percentage of students in each grade that read at least 15 minutes, for 16 days, during each month.
