While each teacher can share what their expectations are in the kindergarten classroom, the most important and valuable part of homework will be for a parent to practice reading to their child every night. We encourage families to read for 20 minutes so children get used to reading and enjoy it. When a child is in kindergarten through second grade, they are learning to read. From third grade and beyond, they are reading to learn. Setting those foundations for reading early will help make it a part of their routine so they are set up for success in school.
