We have been working on:

•  Identifying words that have been removed from a group
• Demonstrating knowledge of the concept of a letter
• Associating the names of letters with their shapes
• Learning the chants for the letter sounds
• Reading the pre-decodable Friends with our new sight word: and

What you can do at home:

You can play a game in the car like we do here at school!  Tell your child you are going to say three words and that they need to listen carefully so they can remember what you said.  Say, cup, spoon and pot.  Have your child repeat the words.  Have them listen again but only say two of the words, cup, spoon.  Ask them to tell you the word that is missing.  You can do this for a few different sets of words!   Have fun!

Practice the pre-decodables!  This one seems pretty challenging, so be sure to read it to your child. Have them point to the words as you read.  Maybe ask them to point to certain words to be sure they know what it looks like.  And don't forget to ask them questions about the pictures!

Keep up the good work and always remember to make it fun!
