HOMEWORKReading
It is very important that your child reads for at least 20 minutes every day. It does not matter what they choose to read at home so long as they are reading. I would recommend that they read at least 10 of those minutes out loud to build their confidence and to work on their expression. FRY Words We will be challenging FRY Words lists this year. These are lists of the commonly used and read words at school. I will post the list of words each week so they can practice at home. They will be responsible for writing each word three times and then using in a sentence. They will be provided time in class to work on this but may work on this at home. I will be checking their work every Friday. Cursive We will be learning to read and write cursive this year. This will help them to write quicker, build endurance, work on grip pressure, and focus on legibility. They can copy one paragraph from a book of their choice or free write 3 times a week. They will show me their practice regularly for hints and tricks until they are confident with their writing. Typing We will be also be working on our keyboarding skills in order to improve our speed and confidence when using technology. We will be working through the Typing.com program. |
