Help parents understand how to support literacy skills over winter break

These parent letters explain the importance of consistent reading over the winder holidays! There are 3 different versions featuring options for holiday clipart. I shared information about these letters in my previous blog post. If you missed it, you can check it out here.

Encourage students to read consistently through fun reading challenges over winter break

The first option for reading challenges is based on TIME spent reading. There are two versions for time-based reading-- either 10 or 20 minutes per day.

The second option for reading challenges is based on fun WAYS to read! For extra incentive, use the marshmallow version if you plan to reward those who complete the challenge with a hot chocolate party when they return to school

Consistently review common sight words over winter break

Sight word hunt-and-color pages are fun ways to keep students reading (and rereading) common sight words. These are excellent take-home activities OR independent pages for the final days of school in December! There are three different versions, and an answer key is included for each.

You can access all of these materials in the NO PREP Winter Break Packet to Support Literacy Skills, now available in the Tally Tales Literacy TPT store!
