Reading: Beginning Class

This class will begin by reviewing letter sounds and introducing CVC blends. We will learn to read and spell kindergarten sight words and begin reading beginner books and stories together. 

Each Monday we will begin with an introduction to the weekly material. Tuesday, we will have a quick review, then begin reading short sentences. Wednesday and Thursday, we will complete the reading assignment. For the first four weeks, we will read short stories together. For the last four weeks, we will focus on reading beginner books.  

Here is an outline of what letters and sight words we will be learning/reviewing. *
