The K reinforces the reading-writing connection by including a message to a friend as a weekly homework assignment. Messages can start out as pictures or a simple sentence dictated to the parents and signed by the student. As their abilities grow, the children can begin to print some of their own words. With consistency, our language arts lessons, and parent encouragement, many students are able to write a full-page letter by the end of the year.
