Readers' and Writers' Notebooks

Every Friday home groups meet with their teachers to discuss their R&W Notebook. Please look for teachers' comments. Ask your child if their teacher has given them a challenge, eg., 

to read a non-fiction book rather than a fiction title, or 

to respond to a book by making a comment, or 

to make written descriptions to elaborate on their drawings.

Teachers are seeking to extend students engagement in reading and writing through the use of the R&W Notebook. You can help reinforce this by encouraging your child to follow up on their challenges and to read regularly or to be read to regularly.
