Language

 

The jolly phonic sound to review this week is the "c/k" sound. It is important for all the SK students to know most of the sounds by this time. Practising the sounds (moreso than the letters) would be beneficial. Most of the students struggle with the vowel sounds because they sound very similiar to their ears.

 

Some of the words we will focus on are: cat, car, can, cart, cut, cub, cap, cab, cry, cow, cob, cot, and cup.

 

The By Heart Word for this week is the word "was". This word is difficult for the students and it appears in many of the books that so many of them are beginning to read and when they want to write a sentence or two.

 

This week I have written some of the By Heart Words on plastic Easter eggs. The students will stamp the words using the letter stamps. When your child brings home their work see how many of the words they are able to read.
