* Please put each word on an index card and have your child practice reading them on a nightly basis. These are trick words which means they can not be sounded out. The faster your child is able to read these words the more fluent their reading becomes.

We have started our units in Spelling. Your child will have Spelling homework each night in their green spelling journal. The assignment is the same every night. The only thing that will change is the words that are used. On Monday - Write each word 3x each, Tuesday Choose 3 words and put them in sentences. (*If you are up for a challenge do 5), Wednesday- Choose 3 more words and put them into sentences (* Again, if you are up for a challenge then do 5), Thursday: ABC order ( *Choose 5 words and put them in ABC order) and study for the test.

* We will have Spelling tests on Fridays

* A great way to practice the trick words is to put each word on an index card and use them like flashcards.

We have been working with CVC words and talking about word families. Your child should be able to tap to read words like (cat, mop, fin, hug) etc.
