Week 23: Mapping, Shapes, Presidents, & Sequencing!

Words of the Week (W.O.W.): be, here, am

Word Family of the Week (WFW): _ed (example: bed, fed, ted, led, red). The initial sound referred to as an onset. The word family is referred to as a rhyme. Using this vocabulary will help in identifying the parts of the word and building familiarity with how to choose rhyming words.)



Daily Reading Log: 

I will provide three options for your reading log to meet you in the middle, as I know life gets a little crazy. For the rest of the year you will have the choice between one of the three options. Please remember this is apart of your child's homework completion. I am providing options to make it "user friendly". 

Option A) Complete the online version of the "Daily Reading Log".

Option B) Record your child's reading selection on the back of the homework packet instruction sheet.

Option C) Create a electronic book shelf using shelfari and share it with me so I can follow your collection growth! This option is super easy! All you have to do is create a profile (basically name & email) and then type the title of the book(s). See my shelf to the right of this post for an example. 




Reading Strategy: Predictions & Inferences

Reading Skills: 
Syllable Tapping: Practice with your student tapping out the number of syllables in words. Start simple with one syllable then slowly increase the challenge to 2, 3, and more syllable words. Practice this skill during your daily reading and/ or dinner conversation. By rehearsing this skill daily, your child will reach mastery in no time! 


Rhyming: Please work with your child on words that rhyme. Begin with words that follow our word families. Reading poetry and seeing how others use rhyme can be a fun way to begin this journey! Dr. Seuss is a great resource for this activity!


Please continue work with both beginning sounds and segmenting words at home. 

Beginning Sound Practice: 
Kindergarten Skill Standard: RF.K.2d Student will be able to isolate and pronounce the initial sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant or CVC) words. This does not include words with the ending sounds /l/, /r/, or /x/.

Prompt: What is the first/beginning sound you hear in the word "cat"?
Answer: "C! C says /k/"

Prompt: What is the first/beginning sound you hear in the word "mom"?
Answer: "M! M says /m/"

Prompt: What is the first/beginning sound you hear in the word "bed"?
Answer: "B! B says /b/"

Phoneme Segmentation:
Kindergarten Skill Standard: RF.K.2c Student will be able to blend and segment onsets and rimes of single syllable spoken words. 
Example: Tell me the sounds in the word cat answer: /c/ /a/ /t/

Prompt: Tell me the sounds in the word man 
Answer: /m/ /a/ /n/

Prompt: Tell me the sounds in the word hit 
Answer: /h/ /i/ /t/

Prompt: Tell me the sounds in the word box 
Answer: /b/ /o/ /x/
