The EXIT Letter
June 28, ______
Dear Parents,
The children have worked very hard this year and they have
learned a great deal. However, it is important that they
keep working during the summer. This school year, the children
learned how to write stories by themselves. They know how
to sound out words and how to look up words on our "word
walls."
Please encourage your child's thirst for knowledge and creative
writing. Sit with your child for 10 to 15 minutes every
day and help him or her to write a story. Please do not
write the story for your child, but do help to sound out
the words. I have attached a word list to this letter. Please
help your child study these words every day and use them
when writing stories.
Your child has worked very hard to learn these skills. Please
find time in your schedule to spare a few minutes each day
to help your child continue to learn. It is essential to
academic success. Have a nice summer.
Thank you,
Ms. _______
