Each night the students are expected to practice their word cards. Word cards are high frequency words and sight words that the students should know immediately. Most of these words are not words that can be sounded out. It is through practice that these words will be learned. Immediate recognition is required to receive a stamp. Two stamps and the child will earn the word and take it off his/her ring. Earned words should stay at home for practice and review.

Your child will be sent home with their blue Wonders reading book this week. There is a story that we have been working on together in class throughout the week. When it is sent home, I ask you to sit with your child as he/she reads it to you. Please return the book the next day. You are yours child's first reading teacher, and taking the time to sit with your child as he/she reads the story will give him/her a great start with reading.

Ideas for Reading at Home

1. While reading the story aloud with your child, follow each word with your finger to show that you must go from the top of the page to the bottom and from left to right.

2."Echo" read - read a sentence and then have your child repeat what you read.

3. Point out that sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark.

4. Look at the sight words at the end of each book to review.

Secret sharing this week is an object with the /y/ sound as in yell.

Your child will need to pick an item that begins with the specified letter or theme. The object should fit in a brown paper bag. Your child should dictate three clues to you. Write the clues on the bag or an index card. Clues should be in complete sentences. On his/her sharing day the child reads the clues to the class. The class will guess the object based on the clues. If your child forgets the sharing it counts as no homework. He/she will NOT be able to do it the next day.
