Please create a book collection at home with books that your child makes in kindergarten. Place them in a basket and keep available to read and practice daily. Also, to develop a love of reading in your child please read to them each night. Discuss the books you read and make it a wonderful bonding experience.
In class we will learn letter names and sounds. Your child will be supported in decoding new words. They will also learn Snap Words which are high frequency words. Please review the material that comes home each day to reinforce these skills and to build their confidence.
It is my goal to develop strong, confident readers who truly love to read!
