Literacy

 

 

In literacy our "By heart words" for this week are:   is  black.  Most of the children know the word is and it, because these two words occur so frequently in our message of the day. However, it is now time to add the words to our "by heart" wall.
I want to thank all the parents for working so diligently on these words because when we practise them daily the children know them. Most of the SK children are able to find the words on our "by heart" wall which helps them with their writing.

 

 

Retelling

 

 

Retelling is a very difficult reading strategy for the children. Usually they either give too much detail or too little. This is why I have decided this will continue to be the focus for the rest of this month. Some of the stories we will be using lead themselves very naturally to retelling. The Gingerbread Man and these others.

                                                                 

The children will have props to retell each of these stories and this will be another centre.
