DId you know that background knowledge and vocabulary are highly correlated with reading comprehension? What this means is that the more knowledge a child has about a topic, the easier it is to assimilate new information on that topic as the child encounters it in text. Also, the less children have to problem solve as they encounter unfamiliar words, the more brain power they can devote to understanding text.

Luckily, even our youngest readers are exposed to sophisticated content and vocabulary through the use of our Geodes decodable texts in grades K-2. At home, you can help your child build knowledge and vocabulary by reading books to/with him on a variety of topics. Remember, just because your child can't decode the words, doesn't mean you can't read to her and have meaningful conversations about the content. You can also use sophisticated language in conversation with your children, and read materials to them/ encourage them to read materials with sophisticated language (books, newspapers, magazines, comic books, etc).

Have a safe and healthy long weekend!

Grade 4 Physical Exams

An updated copy of your child’s most recent physical exam is required to be submitted to the school nurse per DPH in Grades K, 4, 7, and 10.

If you have not already done so, please send in your fourth grade child’s most recent physical in an envelope labeled “for the Nurse.”

Thank you! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me below.
