Primary Performance “cents + $ensibility” commences 9.40am Secondary Performance “The Social Me” DRAGON READERS STARTS NEXT WEEKDRAGON READERS STARTS NEXT WEEKDRAGON READERS STARTS NEXT WEEKDRAGON READERS STARTS NEXT WEEK Primary students are participating in a progressive reading program, starting next week. This is designed to encourage the enjoyment of reading. • Each child reads and/or is read to for 10 minutes each day at a time that suits.

An adult needs to hear the child read. • Each parent dates and initials the appropriate space on the record sheet. One

entry a day maximum please. • When the dragon reader has filled the current sheet, he/she returns the record

sheet to our school library and progresses to the next level. • Awards and incentives are given when readers achieve each level. Also at each

level a certificate will be given to students to celebrate their success. Tips for Parent Reading Partners: • To help reading become a habit, stick to a regular routine • Make reading fun • Never use reading as a punishment. Make sure your child enjoys the

experience. Build confidence by praising any reading or “guessing” your child does.
