In 1st grade we will be studying English:
Parts of speech, phonics,
writing, and we will be using the Scott Foresman reading series. Welcome to 1st Grade We would like to welcome you and your child to our first grade classes. We have planned many activities to enhance academic and physical development, as well as social growth. There are many ways to help your child prepare for first grade. One way is to read to your child daily. If your child is able to read to you, refer to the strategies below to help him/her. Rereading familiar books is very beneficial. Learning nursery rhymes will help your child transition to reading.Keeping a daily journal will help your child improve his/her writing. on writing a complete thought, beginning with a capital letter, ending with a period, and spelling the ‘sounds’ heard. spelling is not as important at this stage) We will be working on
using a multiple of strategies to help us read. Parents
can help at home by giving the simple clues to figure out unknown words: “Work
it
out.”
“Look at the
picture and the beginning sound. Think
about the story.” “Do you know a
word that looks like this one?” (ie, stay
looks like day) “Do
you recognize any
part of that word?” (landed,
ring, goes,
calling) “Guess a word, go
on, go back and reread.” “Reread and get
your mouth ready with the first sound(s). “Does it make sense? Does it look right? Can you say it that way?” |
