Sight Wor s
This week"s new sight word was 'ro(. #a$e your child sing you the new sight word song. This month, to go along with word sliders, we had one word each day to decode by using the strategy of looking at the chunks and thinking about what makes sense. The context was spring. This was great and fun daily practice for these decoding skills. %or word work time, the children learned about word families, and looked at the word family chunk and thought of words that also started with that chunk and had that chunk in the middle of the word.

This weeks shared reading text, Goats are Great, was a perfect book for building reading stamina. It was a longer text and as children are becoming more fluent with their reading strategies, they are learning to read longer text. They do get tired but by following their lead and encouraging ust a bit more each day, they are building endurance, ust like we would with exercise! We are excersicing our brains!
