This week we will be studying the sounds of d and f. Also some new concepts: blends, sight words-said and of, and our first Fluency Reader! Please review these when the pages come home in the Take-Home Folders. Lesson 15 in our Phonics series is an assessment. This will help me see what your children have retained up to this point. If there are deficits, we will work on these in small groups as needed. This will occur every five lessons. If you are reviewing these pages it will really help to keep your child on target.
Our first math assessment will be given this week. Review these: adding to 9, knowing that changing the order of the numbers does not change the answer, counting objects and putting them together. You will see pages in the take-home folder. Please look over them tonight.
We will begin our next Topic in math after our assessment, which is Understanding Subtraction. Review any pages in the take-home folder later this week.
Ask your child about the Reading Strategies that we have been studying.
Comprehension: Check for Understanding and Back up and Reread
Accuracy: Cross-Checking and Flip the Sound
Expand Vocabulary: Tune Into Interesting Words
*As always read any book/story that interests your child.*
I hope you have a wonderful week!
