PHONICS

Phonics - New Program - 95%
This year, 95 Phonics Core Program™ is being used to teach the foundational skills of reading. The program is taught for 30 minutes daily as a whole class lesson. During each lesson, your child will receive direct and explicit instruction in: 

Phonological Awareness, which is the ability to hear and manipulate the spoken parts of words. Phonological awareness provides a critical foundation for acquiring phonics skills, which will, in turn, support accurate and fluent reading of text.
Phonics, or the connections between letters and sounds. 
Morphology, which is the study of basic prefixes/suffixes as appropriate to the grade level. • High-frequency words. •
Fluency and using phonics skills while reading decodable passages.
**Center and small group work will be incorporated into the program.
