We Are Learning to Read
In Kindergarten we have been learning how to read! We have brought home "Home Reading" books and are learning to use reading strategies to help decode and sound out unfamiliar words.
Some of us have brought home letter rings (please return these to school so Miss Tennis can add sight words or add words at home from the list below). Some of us have gotten our word rings and have been practicing our new sight words. Below is the list of sight words we are learning. We are starting Please help your child learn and practice these words at home!
We have learned two new reading strategies so far. They are: Eagle Eye and Stretchy Snake.
When using the Eagle Eye reading strategy, students are encouraged to use their keen sense of sight, like an eagle, to use picture clues to help sound out the unfamiliar words! For example, we can use Eagle Eye to help us sound out the tricky word below.
When using Slithering Snake, students are learning to stretch out and say each letter sound, then blend them together.
