NEW LIFT GROUPS

Today the children met with their new LIFT groups. The First Graders are either repeating a DIGRAPH (letters that go together to make one sound) class or starting in the next class which is the BLENDS (2 letters that go together and make 2 sounds) class. Digraphs tested are sh,th,ng,ck,ch,wh. Blends assessed are sp,mp,nt,st,nd,cl,tr,sn,pr,sl. The children did very well on the reading of sentences during the winter testing. They fell short on reading nonsense words. We will work on this every day during the next session of LIFT. As you read with your child be sure to point out words with blends and digraphs.
