Emergent Reader Class - Language Arts

Reading Assessments are done and 
EVERYONE is progressing!

Starting the week of December 9th
the students will be provided with
10 Spelling Words Weekly
5 Sight Words Weekly
5 Bonus Words Weekly
AND
10 Word Family Words Weekly

What are WORD FAMILY WORDS?  Word Family Words are groups of words that have a common feature or pattern - they have some of the same combinations of letters in them and a similar sound. For example, at, cat, hat, and fat are a family of words with the "at" sound and letter combination in common.  The students are very familiar with Word Family Words because they work with them in our "Word Work" Center several times a week.  On a weekly basis the students should be bringing home "Word Work" books with highlighted words in them that they have completed in class.  These books and flashcards that are provided in the "Word Work" Center are completed weekly by all of the students.  You can find examples of Word Family Words at this website:

I am confident they are ready and able to learn 30 words per week.

You can find these words on our classroom website and in child's agenda weekly.

They will be tested on all words every Friday.


***The week of December 16th Spelling Words, Sight Words, Bonus Words, and Word Family Words will be provided but the test will not be until Friday, January 10th.
