- Identify, print, and associate lowercase letters/sounds (please refer to the Fundations writing grid images and verbalization for sky, plane, grass and worm lines to support correct letter formation-directions on how to form the letters are included on the homework sheets).
- Write first and last name using appropriate upper and lowercase letters
- Identify and spell color words
- Learn new sight words (please click on the sight word tab above to view the list of sight words).
- Rhyme words and identify pictures that rhyme
- Identify same sounds in words
- Recognize different genres
- Label illustrations (with sounds learned)
- Write simple sentences (using sight words and inventive spelling)

Repeated practice enhances word recognition, letter formation, and letter/sound association. The application of multi-sensory strategies to support increased recall and retention of newly learned letters and sounds will be practiced in our class. Please ask your child to demonstrate some of the fun ways that we practice learning letters/sounds and sight words.
