Each week, word bird continues to introduce new words to the students. On Monday, students begin practicing to read and write his word of the week. These high frequency words range from decodable to non-decodable. All of the words appear frequently in student's independent reading books. Your child is expected to know how to read and spell ALL of these words (and more to come) by the end of the year. INQUIRE with your child what each of these words are - you'll be surprised - most know them ALL! YAAAY ! You can help your child be word detectives while they read at home - have them point out these words in the little paper books that come home in the ziplock bag.
