Word Wall Words
Please help your child learn to recognize the sight words. These are words that they will come across frequently as they read and will want to write them as an author. You can, of course, simply use the flash cards that were provided. However, your child will enjoy other means to learn these words. Below are three suggestions on fun activities:
- Write the words in several different colors
- Make word puddles and call out the word to jump on
- Play Tic-Tac-Toe with the words
Reading Workshop
We are enjoying Fairy Tales!
As readers we are identifying the who, where, when and what that happens in our stories. When you read with your child ask them some of these questions:
- Who was in the story?
- Where did the story take place?
- What time of day was it?
- What happened in the story?
