Things to work on at home
- Taking turns in a conversation.
- Read with your child approximately 15 minutes a day.
- After listening to a story, discuss it. Retell about the beginning, middle & end. Make predictions and ask comprehension questions.
- Always washing our hands to get rid of germs.
- Respectful manners (Please, Thank you, Excuse Me, pushing chairs in, etc.)
- Listening and following 2-3 step directions.
- Writing their first and last name with the correct capital and lower case letters and correct formation of the letters.
- When Guided Reading books come home please make sure you're reading each book 2-3 times and discussing the story.
- Practice any sight words that I have mentioned in the newsletter.
- Practice writing a story and allow the student to "stretch" out the words - they will write the sounds they hear. Remind to use capital letters where appropriate and punctuation marks.
