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.
