Reading/ Phonics
The kindergarteners
will be immersed in many activities working with phonics, guided reading,
writing, and language arts.
Our class will study a letter of
the week. There will be activities, art projects, and writing to practice
letter and sound recognition. We will use the Harcourt Brace series to make
take home books for practice and review. The students will soon be working
on sight words and picture clues to read to you. As the year progresses
your student will find reading to be fun and interesting. Please add to
the excitement by working with your student at home. Read to and with them
daily. Model good reading habits by using the newspaper, magazines, and other
materials to spark interest.
The class will be making many books
this year.We will keep these in our Special Book Boxes, and we will add to our libraries often. Please keep these books and use them to practice and review their
new knowledge. Notice the advances they are making throughout the year,
and praise them for all the hard work! At the end of the year the
students will be filled with the excitement and joy of being able to read
and learn new things on their own!
