Each week, four new words are introduced to first graders. On Monday, students begin practicing to read and write these high frequency words - that sometimes are "trick words". 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 some 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 books that come home in the ziplock bag. Reading them is easy - but how about writing them? A task that certainly takes more practice!Class Picture
