Most of the Kindergarten By Heart Words have been learned. Each day we review five of these words by playing the game "Find the Word". Volunteer students find the word stated by the teacher. They find the word, point to the word and tell the rest of the class the letters in the word. Sometimes I print the word on the whiteboard to help some of the students. Due to the fact that many of the students are showing a keen interest in reading and writing, I have decided to add words that they often come upon in their reading and writing. So this week the By Heart Words are, "this" and "her".

 

 

The Jolly Phonic sound for this week is the "e" sound. The students often experience difficulty with the short vowel sounds because they sound very similar.

Some of the words for the short e sound are: hen, pen, red, pest, pet, end, set, men, elf, fed, den, neck, met, test, get, leg, wet, well, yes, and hem.
