It is very important that students continue to read daily. We have attached instructions on how to login to Epic Books below, which will allow students to read books every day. The program is only available to students until 3pm. Books have been assigned to your child at their reading level and you will notice that some books have a quiz at the end to check their comprehension. If there is not a quiz at the end of the book, then you could ask your child some comprehension questions (see sample comprehension questions in the front of your child's yellow literacy duotang that was sent home in September). 

If you do not have the supplies (pencil, crayons, scissors, glue, technology etc) at home to complete any of the assigned tasks on our teach page or  in your Grade 1 Home Learning Package, please email me and I will be sure to get the necessary supplies to you.
