Dear Parents,

We spend several minutes every day reviewing the basic sight words on our word wall. We look at unusual spellings and patterns in words(like in rhyming words) that can help us make new words. We also look at how we can manipulate letters in one word to make a new word! Many of these words need to be memorized and are the most frequently encountered words in the English language! I have sent home copies of the Dolch word list. If you need one to practice with your child, you may print the one below.

As always, Thank you for your support!

Print out sight words to practice with your child!

//**Word Families:** // We use the sight words to connect the children's understanding to all of the rhyming words that can me made from sight words. Like...if you know "all" you can read and write "ball & tall." They are better readers when they learn to read chunks of words, rather than sound by sound. For lists of the rhyming words and fun ideas to help your child go to Mrs. Alphabet's Website! [|Mrs. Alphabet]
