Reading
In Kindergarten, we meet in small guided reading groups to work on our reading skills and sight words.
Here are a few of the tools we use to help your child learn to decode:
Eagle Eye
Look at the picture for clues.
Lips the Fish
Say the first sound of the new word.
Stretchy Snake
Stretch the word out slowly.
Put the sounds together.
Chunky Monkey
Look for a chunk that you know (at in cat).
Look for a word part (-ing, -er).
Flippy Dophin
Switch the vowel sound. If the short vowel sound does not work, try the long vowel sound to decode the word.
Skippy Frog
Skip the word. Read to the end of the sentence. Hop back and read it again.
Tryin Lion
Try to reread the sentence. Try a word that makes sense.
