Literacy update

I would like to give you an update on sight words and letter sounds we have covered up to this point in the year.

The students have learned the sounds of a (short sound), b, h, m, n, r, s, t and are now working on v.

The sight words the children should know are: a, and, to, I, my, like, see, the and on.

Another focus for this reporting period is onset/rhyme (you may know this concept, as word families). Examples of this are p+at=pat, b+at=bat, c+at=cat, etc. At this point we are working with words that contain the short a sound. Play rhyming games with your child with words that have these endings, ab, ad, ap, at, am, ag.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call, stop by or e-mail me.
