First Graders are having FUN with the alphabet!
Our new Fundations program has been great fun as
we use a multi-sensory approach to teach the reading, spelling and writing
of sounds, letters and words. We have been reviewing all letters and their
sounds as well as learning the proper formation of each with daily drill and
practice. This ability to name the letter and its sound and write the letter
automatically is necessary when reading and writing. Once this is mastered,
first graders are freed up for more advanced written work. We love using
our magnetic boards and letters to show knowledge of alphabetical order and
have been tapping CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words and making them with
our letters tiles. Some words you can practice tapping and writing with your
first grader are map, lit, job, cat and fun. Trick words (words we cannot tap out phonetically) that we are learning are
the, and, is, his and of. We are practicing these with our slap and clap game and by writing,
reading and spelling them. Soon we will be sending our trick words home for practice as well as home activites for reinforcement and practice of our new skills. Remember, keep it FUN!
