SCIENCE
PHONICS & LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION
During track out students can practice Identifying letters and their sounds. Please take a minute to review the letter sounds video above for correct sounds.
Printable letter cards are available under the resources tab.
Have students practice hearing the sounds in words. For example give them a word and have them identify the sounds they hear. You can also watch some youtube games here:
WRITING
Students can practice writing letters; a,c,d,h,m,s, and t. Letter formation pages can be found under resources.
Encourage students to use proper pencil grip; Index finger and thumb hold the pencil close to the tip of the pencil, middle finger supports the side. Ring and pinkie finger tuck under. Students should rest their hand as they write- not hover it over their paper.
Have students practice writing the sounds they hear In words- even If the spelling Is Incorrect. For example If they are writing "hair" they might spell it "har". We have not learned all of these spelling patterns or sounds yet so spelling does not need to be correct.
Have students write the words cat, mat, sat, hat, had, has, mad, sad, dad, at. You say the word, they write the sounds they hear. These words should be spelled correct since we have learned these sounds In class.
