Reading
To support children in becoming knowledgeable
readers, the most important thing parents can do is to read aloud to their
children and talk about what has been read. This nightly process supports
children in developing oral language skills (the ability to talk in a fluid and
understandable manner), comprehension (understanding what has been read), and
sparks enthusiasm toward the act of reading. We created this downloadable
document to support parents in identifying the expectations for readers during
their years at PHS:
Panorama Hills Reading Handbook for Parents. Please click on the link below:
Homework:
Students are working on mastering the
sounds for the 26 letters of the alphabet and identifying words that start with
each letter.
There is a video on the side of the
blog (Grapheme video), which students may watch to help them learn the sounds.
Starfall is another website students
may access to practice letter sounds and reading.
Reminders:
-Please have your child return their
purple homework folder to school each day.
-Scholastic book orders due Sept. 10
(cash, cheque or online payment)
-Parent Viewpoint notes sent home. Please read and fill in information regarding
your child. Return these forms to school once they are complete.
Thanks!

What does the word patience mean?
(We read a story called “Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake” and
Betty Bunny had to be patient until she could eat her favourite cake.)
