General Supports
Reading daily is critically important to literacy development. In addition, it is important that parents ask questions about the text to determine their child's understanding. This activity includes statements from a story for children to answer. You can develop similar questions for stories and books that you read at home.
In this unit we are reading informational texts about animals and their habitats. Does your child have a favorite animal? This would be a great time to read and research about that animal at home.
