The jolly phonic sound for this week will be the Dd sound. Parents can download the sheet in order to do the action with your child. The class only does a little five minute lesson on jolly phonics daily. Some of the three or four letter words we will be working on are:

dab, dad, did, den, dig, dip, dot, dry, dug, dill, ding, dong, dish.

 

 

The students will be introduced to the ot family. Some of the words they will be able to make are: cot, dot, got, hot, lot, pot, rot, tot. Practicing chunking the ot together and then blending the first consonant with the ot family, prepares the students for reading.

 

In the area of reading comprehension we will continue with the strategy of Retell. I find the use of fairy tales is the easiest for the students. The events are short and very concise.
