Working with Letters

WE have done it.  We made it through the entire alphabet.  We will continue to practice are letters and letter sounds but will no longer be focusing on one letter a week.  This week was the letter was "Y".  It has four different sounds.  Ask your child about it.

We have also started to focus on reading strategies.  One of them was sounding out many different words.  We also talked about skipping over the word you don't know reading the others and filling it in with what makes sense (I have been doing this during read alouds) as well looking at the picture to try and figure out the word.  Today we played a game with pictures where we knew what the picture was and tried to figure out what the beginning and ending sounds of the words were.
