PHONICS BOOKS
In the past two weeks phonics books have been sent home with your child. You would have found them in the "TAKE HOME" section of their take home folder. Please keep these assignments at home.
A few parents have asked about these books and what to do with them.
PHONIC BOOKS are used to introduce new sounds and sound combinations and are used in class ONLY. These books are not to be read as their 15 MINUTES OF FLUENCY READING. The Phonics Books are not leveled books and would not be effective in building fluency. Accompanying the phonics books is a word list. Again, this word list was used to introduce or reinforce sounds in the phonics books. It is an in class activity. I have organize daily phonics lessons to expose my students to 45 different sounds. This is foundational to fluent reading and will be used as a frame of reference throughout the school year.
If you want to review this classwork with your child please reinforce the word family that was being taught. For example, if you see a list of words that end in "et" this is the Word Family "et" and this sound can be reinforced.

This is not required homework.
