We are working hard to learn:


concepts of print (top to bottom, left
to right, where to start reading,
Letters make words, words make
sentences. practice pointing to words
Please help your child with these concepts at
home. Please practice sight words daily, even if
it just 5 minutes a day. Remember make it fun
with sticky notes around the house or flash card
games. Please practice rhyming with your child
also. You can do this in a fun way also by replacing
the first letter of words to make them rhyme;
they can be real words or silly words.
Please Read With Your Child Daily! Don’t forget
to fill out reading logs. Our class has read over
2000 minutes this week!
There is a new sight word list in the LION
