Reading

Kindergarten is all about learning to read! In kindergarten we really work on sight words and decoding strategies.

​

Here are a few of the tools we use to help your child learn to decode:

 

 

 

Eagle Eye

Look at the picture for clues.​

​

​Lips the Fish

Say the first sounds of the new word.

​​

Stretchy Snake​

Stretch the word out slowly.

Put the sounds together.​

​

Chunky Monkey

Look for a chunk that you know (at in cat)

Look for a word part (-ing, -er)

​

​​

 

Sight words are also a key component in helping students learn to read. Sight words make up more than 50% of everyday reading material! Here is a link to the Dolch sight words.
