Joy Pod

Home Reading - 6 Week Check-In:
Our "Home Reading" program began 6 weeks ago and we hope that you have gotten into a routine of reading at home daily with your child.  Reading at home is an important part of the reading process and has a positive impact on your child’s future reading success.  If you have any questions or concerns about home reading or the books that your child is bringing home. Please feel free to contact your child's responsibility teacher.  Happy Reading!
