Curriculum

Please read to your child often, even if your child is reading or beginning to read.  They need to hear you read, as well as read to you. 

The more we read the better readers we become.

Kindergarten

 We will work with the same letters and sight words the children have been  working with in their ELA class.  I am  going to be about a week behind the current Kindergarten work.

First Grade

We will continue to  practice short vowel sounds  (a, e, o, i, u).  We will use the short vowel sounds to blend and read cvc  words (consonant, vowel, consonant) and ccvc (consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant )words.   We are reviewing the Kindergarten sight words and are working on the First Grade sight words.  Please review these words often with your child.
