They participate in class by reading predictable books together, being immersed in quality literature, making their own books and writing in journals. The majority of the reading is done as a group.
Simple books are available for students to check-out to bring home to read.
Reading these small books with your child is very helpful. They can re-tell the story back to you in their own words. Most children will pick out words they know by the end of the year. We will do most work in class but also have some worksheets for reinforcement. We work on patterning, sorting, classifying, counting, graphing, comparing, simple addition, simple subtraction, and numeral writing.
