1st Grade

We are working on using the picture to gain addition information and understanding of what is happening within the text.

We are also using known words and word parts to help solve unknown words while still using meaning. Have them show themselves the parts with their fingers to break the words apart.

They are working on monitoring their reading. They need to ask themselves, "Was I right?"

Did the reading look right?

Did the reading sound right?

Did the meaning make sense?

As they are reading remind them to think about meaning and what they think the text will say. When they get to unknown words tell your child to show themselves the first part of the word
