567 = 5(100) + 6(10) + 7(1)
+65 = 6(10) + 5(1)
5(100) +12(10)* + 12(1)**
5(100)+1(100)+2(10)+1(10)+2(1)=
6(100)+3(10)+2(1) = 632
*10 tens = 100 **10 ones = 10

Dear Parents,
This year we are asking each child to read at least 20 minutes a night. I am sending a reading chart home so your children can keep track of their reading minutes. Your children will earn a bead for every 20 minutes read at home. When your children have earned 50 beads, they will receive a small prize from the prize jar. We call the “BEAD – A – READER”.
Reading record charts will be sent home every Monday. I ask them to be turned in the following Monday. This way they can count minutes read over the weekend too. I add up the minutes on Monday night and the two top readers with the most minutes for that week, will get to keep a reading trophy on their desk for that week. Every week the minutes will be added and new winners picked. If your child turns in their minutes late, they will not be selected for the trophy for that week.
In order to earn tickets for the Ken Garff bike drawing, your children must read at least 5 days a week. If they read 7 days, they get two tickets for that week.
Research shows that the more time spent reading, the more fluent and stronger reader your children become. If your children are reading, be sure to have them fill in their charts and turn them in so that they can be rewarded for their efforts.
Thanks for your help and support.
Mrs. Bruner
Please sign and return, indicating that you have read and understand The Bead-A-Reader and Ken Garff reading programs.
