North Bergen Reads Every Day

This R.E.D (Read Every Day) packet is part of your child’s nightly reading homework.  Your child will need to be able to read grade level materials before entering the next year.  

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:

  • Have your child read 20 minutes each night,
    • Please do not allow your child to struggle through the words.  Give him/her a chance to decode it, but if they continue to struggle, tell them the word so they can continue reading.
  • Ask your child 3-4 comprehension questions from the list provided
  • When your child is able to read the fluently and correctly, write the title of the book, the date, and your signature on the reading log
  • Return or change the book once they are done

 Important Information

  • If you find that a book is too difficult for your child, please return it.  The goal is for your child to feel encouraged and not discouraged
