Nightly Reading

All students are required to read each and every night. The amount of time spent reading will depend on their age and grade level. A schoolwide nightly reading form is used in all classrooms at Lew Wallace. Your child’s teacher will let you know when these forms should be returned. Keep track of your child's progress at using this Nightly Reading Homework Chart .

Start Discussions

Discuss bits and pieces of books that you read with your child. Find out about what she is reading by asking questions, “What’s happening in your book now? “ or “What are the characters like in the book you are reading?”

Learning to read is like learning anything else

It happens over time, with practice, and with the help of others. Make time, every night, to read with your child.
