Note from Tr. Salam


 السادة أولياء الامور الكرام .....                                                                                                  السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته ...

 * من الضروري و المفيد للتلميذ أن يقرأ باللغة  العربية  , من خمس إلى عشرة دقائق يوميا ( أو على الاقل خمس مرات في الاسبوع ) سواء من كتاب القراءة المقرر كواجب منزلي , أو لاي مادة محببه إلى نفسه ( قصة لديه – مجلة .... او من القصة المستعارة من مكتبة المدرسة ) , لما في ذلك من أهمية كبيرة في تنمية مهارة القراءة , و الاقبال عليها بشكل متدرج منذ الصغر ... حيث يستطيع الطالب الان استعارة قصة من مكتبة المدرسة , كل أسبوعين مع الجدول الخاص بمتابعة القراءة , و عليه اعادتهما في نهاية الاسبوعين في الكيس المخصص لحمايتهما .

  فالرجاء :

*المحافظة على القصة و عدم اتلافها .

*تسليم القصة و جدول متابعة القراءة الحرة , داخل الكيس المخصص لهما في الوقت المحدد . ( أسبوعان من تاريخ الاستلام ) .

*حث الطالب /ة على القراءة و تشجيعه على ذلك .

*القراءة معه و مساعدته إذا لزم الامر ( بأن تقرأ صفحه و هو صفحة  أو جملة و هو جملة ........) .

*القراءة الجهرية و بصوت مسموع .

*تفسير الكلمات الصعبة .

*عدم التدقيق على الاخطاء البسيطة التي لا ثؤثر على المعنى .

*التذكرة أثناء القراءة بالكلمات التي تتكرر , فيسهل على الطالب قراءتها مرة أخرى .

*تقطيع الكلمات الكبيرة إلى مقاطع ليسهل على الطالب قراءتها .

*اعادة قراءة القصة عدة مرات ، و عدم الاكتفاء بقراءتها مرة واحدة ، و ذلك للاستفادة .

*تسجيل ما يقرأ الطالب , و مدة القراءة التي استغرقها في كل مرة  ,  على جدول متابعة القراءة الحرة , حتى يتسنى لنا تشجيعه و مكافأته عليها .

                                                                  و جزاكم الله على حسن تعاونكم الدائم
