It is time to review the core phonics to make sure the pre-kinders are ready for their future adventure as kindergarteners.
All students are especially working hard to make sure they are Phonic Super Stars. Most of them have a star on every letter/word card on their letter ring! Many have even earned Super Stars on the individual cards for phonics they know. Keep working on their letter rings at home.
Pre-kinders have started SAM site words on their letter rings. Once they have earned some stars on these cards, I will send home their first SAM reader book. We worked on word families and blending letters.
When reading at home, please practice and talk about reading strategy number one:
1. All letters make a sound! (so sound it out)
This is the first and most basic reading strategy to keep your child from guessing. It doesn't work every time. It is the first and best strategy to start.
We also introduced the consonant digraphs: ch, th, sh, and wh
A diagraph is when two letters used together make a single sound
