Early Literacy Skill

Help your child understand how books work.  As you read, point to words to show left to right, spaces between words, and word patterns.

         The students are getting so great at segmenting spoken words.  For example, when given the word /hat/ they can produce the segments /h/ /a / /t/.   They should also be able to read the following sight words: me, see, I, can, like, look, here, the, go, up.  We have practiced writing m, t, c, g, n, h, b, s, a, i, o and know the sounds of each of these letters.    Our CKLA program encourages the students to just say the sounds rather than the names of the letters.  Letter naming will come a little bit later.

         We have been learning a lot about folktales and fables.   Ask your child to tell you their favorite one we have read about so far!

           We have discovered many ways to make 10 with different number pairs.  We have learned about comparing numbers and figuring out how we can tell if one number is the same as, greater than, or less than another number.   

         Thanks again for sharing your amazing children with me and have a fabulous week!
