I send home the Read-At-Home or RAH Note every Monday after we've introduced and read the story of the week at school. Here's what a typical note would look like:
Title of Story from Reader (centered) Read-At-Home
Note (centered)
Name:______________________________
My child, _____________, has read this week's story entitled "_________" pp...(page numbers) to me.
THat's it. Most of my RAH notes are small enough that I can fit three to a page and run them off quickly...just
cut them apart and staple the note to the top of their Spelling List (we don't have a Spelling BOOK...just a list). I require that it be signed and returned to me by Thursday of that week in order to earn a ticket for the drawing OR two stamps on the Homework Bingo Card.
