Homework 2/15-2/19
This week, only reading homework is required. It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework. Homework folders will not be sent home this week, only the “Book Buddy” or Baggy Books. Please complete the following reading activities:
A Reading for All Learners (Book Buddy) leveled book will be sent home with your child DAILY. Please have your child read the book (or one story from the books that contain more than one story) at least three times and then sign the included form. You may supplement your child’s reading using books at home, library books, etc. to fulfill the minimum requirement of 20-30 minutes of reading per day.
It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework. Simply initialing the form that comes home with your child’s Book Buddy is sufficient.
This activity should be completed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework – I trust that you will do it.
If you are able to read the entire passage in less than a minute: start again at the top of the passage and read as many more words as you can until the one-minute timing is over. For scoring, include the total words read during the entire minute. For instance, if you read the entire passage (137 words) and then read part of it again (39 words) before the one-minute timing was over, your score would be 176 (if you had no mistakes).

- Visit the following website: http://www.haslett.k12.mi.us/education/components/scrapbook/default.php?sectiondetailid=11283&:
- Select a “Level 100″ reading passage. For this week, please read passage # 111 (Pets: Helpful Pals) for TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY, and passage #112 (Dogs: Barking Buddies) for THURSDAY.
- Complete a one-minute timed reading and record your score on the Homework Form. Feel free to use this online timer: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/timer/1minute/ . Find your score by subtracting the number of incorrect words read from the total number of words read in one minute (for instance, if you read 98 words, but read 5 of the words incorrectly, your score would be 93).
- Re-tell the story with as much detail as possible, and in your own words, to a parent, using the guidelines described below:
