It has been a great week listening to our scholars decoding words, reading sentences, and comprehending a story. I have seen so much perseverance this week with our first reader, Mac and Tab. This week we took time to get familiar with guided reading groups including, reading in small groups, reading to an adult, and staying on task. We also worked on building our stamina to sit and read up to 15 minutes independently. I also modeled daily how to decode a word using our fingers, using picture clues to decode an unknown word, and blending quickly to read the word. Most scholars did not receive a new book this week however, next week we will be having parent volunteers coming into our classroom to listen to your child read. With repeated reading to an adult your child should begin to level up to the next book. Keep up all the hard work and perseverance and don't forget to have your child bring his/her book daily!!
Every Friday we will have a phonogram and spelling test. At this time, your child will be tested on the new phonograms taught throughout the week. For example, today's test included ay, ai, oy, oi. When practicing these phonograms you should present them this way: student "ay"; student "ai" parent "cue" student "not used"; student "oy", student "oi" parent "cue" student "not used". The reason is English words don't end in "i". On the back on the ai and oi phonogram cards you can write not used as a reminder for when practicing. Please feel free to ask for clarification or if you have any questions at any time. Also, our spelling words will be the words practiced in class and for homework Monday-Wednesday. On Thursday your child should write the words without markings.
