Dear First Grade Families,
We consider family involvement essential to any child’s success as a learner.
Experts agree that children who spend some time of the day in quality learning
during the summer gain academic skills. We encourage you to create a learner
friendly environment at home.
To assist you we are providing three weeks of work from home assignments.
Each daily assignment consists of math, literacy, grammar, writing, comprehension
or more!
This pack is designed to serve as a review and extra practice. However, please
monitor your child as they complete the assignments and feel free to help your
child review any tasks they find challenging.
In addition, please also continue to ensure that your child reads independently
each day.
Book Report assignments have also been added. Make sure your child reads books
and writes a book review for each book on the format provided.

Important:
 Use a journal or notebook to do your homework.
 All the worksheets are designed in such a way that the answers can be
written in a notebook/journal.
 Make sure your child reads everyday for at least 20 minutes.

Key:
Follow the icons to do your homework.
Read a book and fill in a book review form.
Look at the list of simple sentence starters. Choose any three to write complete
sentences in your notebook.

 Reading Task

Dear Parents,

Reading is an integral part of growth. Developing good reading habits is vital to your child. Summer
shouldn't mean taking a break from learning, especially reading. Studies show that most students
experience a loss of reading skills over the summer months, but children who continue to read gain
skills. Efforts should be made during the summer to help children sustain reading skills, practice
reading and read for enjoyment.

Parents should remember that children need free time in the summer to relax and enjoy the pleasures
of childhood. So, summer reading should be fun. The following are a few tips to make reading
enjoyable for your children this summer:

Set a good example! Parents must be willing to model behavior for their children. Keep lots of
reading material around the house. Each person should read his or her book, including mom and dad.

Read the same book your child is reading and discuss it. This is the way to develop habits of the
mind and build capacity for thought and insight.

Let kids choose what they want to read, and don't turn your nose up at popular fiction. It will
only discourage the reading habit. If your child shows interest in buying new titles, kindly make sure
that the child reads them in your supervision to avoid exposure to any Islamically inappropriate
content.

Make books special. Turn reading into something special. Take your kids to the library, help them
get their own library card, read with them, take them to the bookstore and buy them books as gifts. It
will instill the importance of books in their minds.

Make a small library or reading corner for children at home. Compile their reading, coloring,
sketching books as well as their study material in an interesting manner in the corner of a room. Put a
carpet on the floor next to the books, along with a small chair and table. Encourage them to go, sit
and read in their library on daily basis, even if it’s only for fifteen minutes.

Read about it, talk about it and think about it! Applying the tips offered are some ways in which you
can help your child become a happy and confident reader.

Help your child select at least 6 books to read. Follow the strategies given to make your child’s
reading time beneficial. A sample Fiction and Non - Fiction book review has been given. More copies
of the same sample can be used to write as many reviews as your child can write about the books
he/she has read.
