Each week, print out the homework-tracker. PLEASE right your child’s name at the top of this tracker.
Your child is required to read 20 minutes every night. This could include Raz Kids, reading books at home or our fluency passage. Here is the link to your child’s phonics-fluency-stories sheet. Please print Lesson 28 and have your child read it each night. Time them for 1 minute and have them read as many words as they can. If they get to the bottom they will go back to the top and continue reading until the 1 minute is up. Soon I will have some students doing harder passages based on where they get with reading buddies coming up. This is just to start getting into a routine.
PLEASE make sure your child is bringing their blue folder everyday to school. There are passages in them that are another resource for reading but I am asking that you have them read it at least 3 times a week.
They need to be timed for 1 minute and then using their retell ropes (in back of sheet protector) to tell you as much as they can about the story. Here are homework-fluency-instructions for help.
Here is the word sort to print : 1-28-sheet1
Each week, print your student’s assigned Word Sort by clicking on the appropriate link above. Use the Word Sort for the following activities:
- Monday: Print, cut, and sort your words with an adult and explain this week’s rule. Sort each word under the correct guide word.
- Tuesday: Practice the sort and write it on the back of the homework tracker.
- Wednesday: Blind Sort (Lay down the guide words and then read the rest of the words aloud without showing them to your child. Your child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it.
- Thursday: Speed Sort: Time your students three times doing their word sorts and record it on the homework tracker.
- Study the following “High Frequency Words” using any method you wish in order to prepare for the weekly spelling test on Fridays.
- There is a list of recommended spelling study activities that you can access BY CLICKING HERE for Spelling Word Activities, but, again, you may use any method you wish.
