Nonsense Word Fluency
Nonsense word fluency measures a student’s ability to decode individual phonemes and then blend them together to read. They’re an indicator of a student’s progress in acquiring early alphabetic principle skills. By using nonsense words, we can find out whether a child knows the most common sound for letters (letter–sound correspondence), and whether a child can blend the sounds to read words he/she has never seen before.
New Sight Words
Students will be brought home new 2nd 9 Weeks Sight Words last week. Please have your child cut them out and put them in a baggie. Students should be able to read, spell, and write their sight words, "in a snap."
HMH Into Reading myBook
Students have completed the first two HMH Into Reading myBooks. Your child can keep these books forever at home or recycle them, if you prefer. Your child does not need to finish any of the activities inside the books at home. Your child DOES NOT have to keep these books inside his/her backpack. These books are for your child to keep at home. Thank you!
