Language

 

All the By Heart Words are on the chart now. Many of the children know the words and are able to find the word to assist them when they are writing. I have tested the SK children on the words and there are only a few children who continue to experience difficulty with the words. These children continue to attempt to sound these words out. I urge all parents to make sure you continue to practise these words during the summer in order to further building upon your child's reading and writing. Practising these words once a week will assist to foster your SK child's confidence as he/she transitions into a more rigorous grade one program this fall.

 

 

The jolly phonic sound is the "f" sound. The following are some of the words we will be learning:

fat, for, fan, fin, fill, fit, flip, fun, fog, flag, flap, from, flat, frog, fork, fish.

 

 

Reading Comprehension Strategy

 

We will continue with the strategy visualization. The children did an amazing job on the illustrations for their visualizations of the Poem Ding-A-Ling poem.

This week the children will be using another poem to create their visualizations, which they will illustrate.
