Sight Words-
We work on sight words throughout the year. You can feel free to work with your child ahead of of our pace, but please be aware that our goals are that they would recognize, read, write, and work with these words. Just quickly identifying them is not our goal. We want these to be a useful tool that can assist your child as they learn to read and write.
**In addition to this list, we will also be learning color words.

Daily 5 and Guided Reading-
Daily 5 is a time during the day when students get to practice their reading skills. There are 5 centers that students are stationed at. While they are working on these, their teacher will pull them back to a teaching group for guided reading. Some students are also pulled out by Title 1 Reading teachers for additional practice of reading skills.
The 5 Stations are:
Read to Self- students to themselves
Read to Someone Else- students take turns reading to a partner
Listen to Reading- students listen to a story and respond to it
Word Work- students do some time of work to gain exposure to words
Writing- students practice their writing skills and sounding out words

Fundations-
Fundations is a program used in grades K-2. At the kindergarten level, it teaches letters, sounds, handwriting, basic reading skills, and rhyming. Our goal in using this program is to increase our students understanding of the individual sounds in a word, the written components of words, and how the two work together.
