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.
TESTING WEEK
The children are taking a reading assessment test this week. There will be no new spelling words to study. Please help your child study the vocabulary words sent home today in their homework packet. There are 30 new words in Level 1.3 that your child will need to be able to read. THANK YOU for supporting your child!
