Sight Words:  The sight words we learn in Reading comprise the most important words for reading and writing in the English language.  It is absolutely impossible to read or write anything without knowing at least some of these words.  Students will need to be able to read the “sight words” without a moment’s hesitation because most of these words make up 65% of all written material.  Over half of every newspaper article, textbook, children’s story, and novel is composed of these words.  This information is based research from Dr. Edward Fry Ph.D.   Each week, we will have assigned sight words.  Your child will be expected to master the sight words to help with reading fluency and comprehension. 

Sharing for this week is “categories”.  Please bring in at least four objects that go together to form a category.  (fruits, vehicles, animals, etc.)

We have a four point grading scale:   4        3        2       1

93% or above = 4       80%-92% = 3     60%-79% = 2     59% or below = 1

If you have any questions or concerns, please call, send a note, or stop by.
