Children can practice at home, rereading texts or exploring new ones that target skills they have learned. Encourage family members to have their child read and discuss books with them. Let families know that decodable books contain controlled text that aligns to what children are learning in school. Explain that they can best support children by coaching them to blend sounds they know to read words. Point out that families can refer to the “Extra! Extra!” notes on each book’s inside back cover to further build topic knowledge and extend book discussions. Conferencing and Communicating Ensure that families are a part of the child’s learning-to-read experiences. Provide time for conferencing with them to communicate what is happening in the classroom and to report on the progress the child is making.
