R.E.D. Folder
Read Every Day
This R.E.D. (Read Every Day) folder is a part of your child’s nightly reading
homework. Your child will need to be able to read when they leave kindergarten.
By reading with your child as often as you can and asking the provided
questions, you will promote and practice fluency and comprehension skills to
support this journey!
For homework each night, please do the following:
v Have your child read the book that is in their RED Folder
v Please do not allow your child to struggle through the words.
v Give him/her a chance to decode it, but if they continue to struggle, tell them
the word so they can continue reading.
v Ask your child 3-4 comprehension questions from the list provided
v When your child is able to read the book fluently and correctly, write the title
of the book, the date, and your signature on the reading log.
v Return the book to school in your child’s RED Folder
v If your child needs additional practice with the book, please keep the folder
at home and continue to practice until they are ready to read it to me!
v When your child returns the folder to me, I will listen to him/her read the
book to me. If they are able to read the book fluently, I will put a sticker on
their log, take the book out, and replace it with a higher level book.
Important Information
v If you find that a book is too difficult for your child, please return it with a note
and I will gladly send another. The goal is for your child to feel encouraged
and not discouraged.
v The RED books belong to our classroom. Please remind your child the
appropriate way to treat our books and be sure all books are returned in a
timely manner.
I am so eager to witness the excitement as your child’s reading skills come

together, allowing your child to read to you!
Thank you so much for your support!
