LITERACY

Phonics-

This week, 1st graders will begin to learn how to blend and read three-sound short vowel words, as well as how to segment and spell, using tapping strategies. Look for a new family letter to come home with information to share about our new unit, as well as practice exercises to try at home!

2nd graders will continue to review glued sounds –ang, -ank, -ing, -ink, -ong, -onk, -ung, and -unk. They will also begin to add the suffix –s to words with glued sounds (as in banks or rings). Beginning this week, students will have one page of phonics homework to complete by Friday. In order to complete this homework assignment, students will need to work with someone who can dictate, or read aloud, the words and/or sentences. Please encourage your child to listen, repeat the word, tap the sounds, and then spell/write the word. Please review “Week 2” dictation activities, and have students complete on the attached worksheet page.
