What is Foundational Literacy?
In December we will begin our mid year testing to identify areas of growth from beginning of the year and areas of support needed to be able to read at grade level. Please work with your KIPPster:
Identifying letter names
Saying letter sounds and blending words (reading them the fast way)
Practice sight words with your students so that they can increase their reading fluency.
Look below for additional resources to help your child read.
In April we will begin our end of year testing to ensure students are able to read at grade level.
Please work with your KIPPster daily on letter sounds and word reading.
