Task Specific Supports
Author studies are a way that students can learn different styles that author's use in their texts. As a family, a good strategy to support this learning is to read several books by the same author and find similarities across those texts. Reading Rockets offers a list of authors and texts for you to consider.
We are also learning about what "Fair" means. Activities and discussions about "fair" at home is a great dialog for children and their families.
