In our class, we continue to build our understanding of letters and the relationship they have to the sound they most often make. We have been working on our regular routines each day during word work to learn more about specific letters. Over the past few weeks we have focused on Aa, Mm, Ss, Tt, Pp, Ff and Ii. This coming week we will also be working on Nn and then doing some review practise with the vowels A and I. In a very short time of time each day, we are able to do a variety of skills that are building our understanding of how to break apart words and blend them back together to be able to read and spell. In the last few weeks we have also been able to start to use whiteboards to write these words and then change one letter of the word to make a different sound. Ex. mat changed to sat. This is very exciting for us and we build our skills and confidence with these letters and sounds. We have also been practising how to print each of these letters properly in lower case so that we can be efficient writers. In the next few weeks, we will be started our home literacy support by sending some books home with students. More information will be coming to you all very shortly, so stay tuned.
Due to teacher absences throughout last week, we do not have photos on this work, but will add very soon.
Ask your child to work with some of these letters and see what they can do. For example, write down the letters s, m, t, p, i and then ask them to write the word sit. Then say the word mit and see if they can write the new word. Have some fun with it!
Learning Intentions:
I can recognize both uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet fluently
I can make connections between letters and sounds in words
I can read one- to two-syllable words of the most frequent letters- sounds used
I can print letters with appropriate size and formation
I can listen to the individual sounds of words and blend them into a word
I can listen to a word and separate the word into its individual sounds
