Reading Triumphs Practice Book Grade 5

Practice Book Dear Family Member or Caregiver: Welcome! This year your child will be building important reading skills. By working together, you and your child can become partners in learning. Each week your child will bring home • a Fluency passage that he or she will read to you. • a Take-Home Story for the two of you to read together and discuss. Using these brief texts, you can help your child review vocabulary words and practice key reading skills taught that week. Your interest, praise, and encouragement are sure to lead to your child’s success in school. Here’s to an exciting year of learning!
