Beginning this month, we will be switching to a monthly homework packet. There will be a schedule to follow for each week and items attached for you to work on with your child. Please hold onto the packet for the entire month and return just the necessary pages on the last Friday of the month (see due date above). R.E.D. Reading Folders will continue to come home, so please allow time to read those books with your child.
Sight Word Fluency Phrases & Sentences: In order to help build sight word fluency, please practice the attached phrases and sentences using words 1-50 from our First Grade Sight Word List.
Nonsense Words: We have been learning that these are called “closed syllable words.” These words have just one vowel, followed by a consonant that closes the vowel, making it a short vowel sound. Our goal is to read the words without sounding them out, but do encourage your child to practice sounding them out, if still needed. By the end of first grade, your child needs to be able to read 30 nonsense words in 1 minute, which will take a lot of practice!
