They had to read with their parents and answer five to ten comprehension questions about the book. More than half of my Little Sea Otters exceeded their goals for sight word recognition and were able to work on reading comprehension and fluency independently. \r\n\r\nThe contribution of ink that you helped give to our class helped recognize the student achievements with the little certificates that I printed out for them each week as they met their goals.
