Dear ______,

Three times per year, we administer a reading assessment to determine placement of students in the Schools of Hope tutoring program. After the most recent assessments, [Student Name] has made significant improvement and his/her teacher has determined that he/she no longer needs the assistance of a volunteer tutor.

He/she will therefore join their class in their normal activities. Please continue to support your child at home to improve his/her reading skills by:

□ Talking to your child in your home language

□ Reading or telling a story every night before bedtime

□ Listening to your child tell you about his/her day

□ Asking your child to read to you

□ Pointing out words in the world--on signs, at the market, in newspapers and magazines

□ Talking with your child's teacher about other ways to help at home

We welcome you to call xxx-xxxx if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

(Staff Signature)

Principal/Classroom teacher
