    Skill: Make and Check Predictions

    • What is this skill? A prediction is a best guess about what will happen next.

    • Why is this important? Good readers make connections about what they already know. It also helps to focus on what we are reading about.

    Sight Words: 

      • Introduce: said, that
      • Review: the, I, a, see, like, by, my, to, am, at, go, is, and, can, you, an, it, has, he, she, in, with, good, his, on, here, of, are, was, be, do, look, want, they, have, some, come, from

    Phonics: (Print)

    • Begninning Blends (sl, cl, fl, sm, sk, sn, st)
    • Digraphs ( /sh/  /ch/ )

    How to effectively decode a word:

    • LOOK for the vowel (NO NOT VERBALIZE THE VOWEL ANY LONGER)
    • READ the word from the beginning by placing your finger at the beginning, and running it slowly under the word to decode
    • DO NOT repeat the word once it is read.
    • Read CVC words (Ex: fan, set, lip, run, mud, hat, not, vet, zip)
    • Read CCVC words (Ex: slip, flap, clap, stop)

    We do not want children to get exhausted from sounding out words. When they do this, they lose meaning in what they are trying to read. This is very important for comprehension skills.

    After reading a story to your child, or your child reading a story to you, ask your child these questions after closing the book:

    1. Start at the beginning and tell me what happened in the story.
    2. What was your favorite part of the story?
    3. What did this story remind you of? (What connections can they make?)

    Skill: Compare & Contrast

    • What is this skill? Compare and contrast means to tell how things are alike and different. Things that are alike are the same or almost the same. Things that are different are not the same.
