We have reviewed our letters and sounds. The children should know the names, sounds and formation for all 26 letters (upper and lower case).
It is common for children in Grade One to have letter and number reversals. We encourage children to edit their own work by checking for reversals and fixing them. To help them search out a backward letter, a few clues instead of pointing it out. For example, "I spy a backward letter in the first line."
We have reviewed the Kindergarten sight words listed below: it, is, I, in, the, that, like, a, and, she, he, was, to, of. If your child is unfamiliar with these, play a game using flash cards. For example, 'go fish' or 'memory'.
