Dear Family Member:
During the first three weeks of school, our class will be focusing on key skills that will provide a strong foundation for our learning this year. This week our class will be reading stories and talking about the different ways that each of us is special.
Here are some resources you can use with your child to help reinforce the skills we will be practicing.
My Words to Know
High-Frequency Word: I Have your child find the word I in a favorite book. Then ask your child to write the word. Think of sentences together using the word I. Write each sentence and have your child circle the word I.
Category Words: names Write your name using capital and lowercase letters and read your name with your child. Point out the capital letter at the beginning of each name. Then write the names of some other family members and friends. Read them and have your child repeat each name.
Letter Workout
Letter Identification: Aa-Hh Write each capital letter A-H on slips of paper and mix them up. Then write each lowercase letter a-h on slips of paper and mix them up. Have your child select a capital letter, say its name, and then find its matching lowercase letter.
