The jolly phonic sound for this week is the "d" sound. Many of the students often confuse the "b" and "d" letter and sound. It is very important to practise the letter and sounds with your child on a regular basis. There continues to be a number of students who still experience difficulty identifying the letters and sounds. The only way to assist your child to learn this concept is practise, practise, and more practise. If your child is an SK this practise and practising the "By Heart Words" will assist them in the area of reading and writing for grade 1.

 

The Comprehension Strategy will continue to be to identify the problem in the story and the solution. The students are then asked what they would do if they had that problem. When adults read we automatically practise this strategy. However, young children have to learn to do this orally and in later years they will be asked to write their thinking down on paper.
