Literacy- Read your Borrow-A-Books each night. You will have 3 books this week. One will be a student coloured book. Be sure to read 1 or 2 books each night. Please continue to read the ABC Letter Tracing Book, especially if your child still does recognize every letter\sound. With your finger, trace each letter by following the arrows. Say each letter name as you trace both the upper\lower letter.Say the letter sound and animal name.ex.Aa alligator.When your child recognizes all the letters, then focus on the letter sounds. As students read the three books, have them point to each word and stop at the period.Use the pictures for cues to help identify the words. Students should be recognizing some familiar sight words like: I,am, see, a, the, to, at, go,like,me. Please remember to fill in the reading log each night and have your child print their name.Please return all books, even the paper books your child has coloured, in the borrow-a-book bag,on Thursday.
