Parent Information

Children, teachers and parents are all an important part of the team that ensures that students become successful readers.  Here are some tips to use with your children at home.


*Show your interest in reading by reading in front of your children and encouraging them to read also.

*Spend at least 10-20 minutes each day reading together.  This establishes reading as a habit and shows your child the importance you place on developing reading skills.

*Find a place that is quiet, private and comfortable so that you can enjoy reading together without being distracted.

*Everyone likes praise, so give it often!  Even if your child's reading is not exactly correct, give credit for the effort.

* Keep track of your child's progress in school, and visit Bonfield whenever possible.  This will keep you informed and let your child know that school is important to you.

* Please contact me whenever you have a question!
