Title I Class

Reading and writing opens a world of opportunities for imagination and fun, but there comes a time when reading and writing essential words can become challenging for children. These essential words, also referred to as high-frequency or sight words, are words children encounter frequently in reading and writing, such as there, when, said, are and because.

In class, your child is learning strategies to help him or her become more familiar with these essential words. These strategies are based on a multisensory approach that encourages children to use all five senses. Children will directly interact with words by printing them in shaving cream, making them out of dough and clay, and hearing and identifying them in songs and poems.

A list of sight words are sent home each 6 weeks. Please practice these words until they become automatic without sounding out. We will be sending home activities to help learn these words. These activities will help your child become an enthusiastic and successful reader and writer. Happy word learning!
