The 12th reading log entry is due the week of February
6th. A common question I get from parents
is how much should I help? The best way to help children is to make them write it out own their own first.
Then, the family can check over it together asking questions along the way. (What can you do to improve it? Are there
any other details you can add? Do you need a punctuation mark here? Should this word be capitalized? Did
you complete everything on the grade sheet/rubric required for getting a good score?) The goal is to put the thinking
on the student.
