Reading Tier 2:

We are working in the Open Court Reading Program for Kindergarten. This program helps students gain phonemic awareness, letter knowledge, and builds on their ability to blend letter sounds. First we got an introduction to letters, how to make them, and what sounds they make. We are also working on our phonemic awareness skills! Every week they will bring home a paper folded book to share with you!

Math Tier Group:

In math groups we look for gaps between student knowledge and the Eureka curriculum. 

Reading Tier 2:

We are working in the From Phonics to Reading Program in the kindergarten level to fill in gaps and give additional practice in letters, sounds, and early blending. As we build on these skills, we will work on reading fluency and gain more sight word knowledge. We are currently working on CVC words. A folded paper book will come home from this group in your child's guided reading folder. Please encourage them to read it to you :)

Reading Tier 3:

We will be working on letters and sounds through a deeper dive into our From Phonics to Reading program and using Phonics First. We are using our sound cards to blend and read CVC words as well as learning about "trick words" that do not follow typical spelling patterns. We are doing even more hands-on word work in this group to connect to the lesson in Tier2.

In math groups we look for gaps between student knowledge and the Eureka curriculum. 

Reading Tier 2:

We are working in the From Phonics to Reading Program on Level A. We are working on reading CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, early sight words, short vowel word patterns, blends, digraphs, magic e words and gaining reading fluency. Every week they will bring home a paper folded book to show off their reading skills. Please encourage them to read it to you and celebrate their growth with them as they practice new patterns :)
