THERE IS A LAND
By Leland B. Jacobs
There is a land -
A marvelous land -
Where trolls and giants dwell;
Where witches
With their bitter brew
Can cast a magic spell;
Where mermaids sing,
Where carpets fly,
Where, in the midst of night,
Brownies dance To cricket tunes;
And ghosts, all shivery and white,
Prowl and moan.
There is a land Of magic folks and deeds,
And anyone
Can visit there
Who reads and reads and reads.

Your grade 2 student needs your help to become a great reader.
For term one, please spend a minimum of 10 minutes each night reading and discussing the story with your child. During term two increase this time to 15 minutes. In term three you should spend at least 20 minutes reading with your child.
This should be a wonderful, relaxing time between you and your child. Children want to share what they are learning. One of the best things to remember is to say "Yeah! It is time to read together!" instead of saying, "We have to read together." Make memories and celebrate the successes because reading is fun!
