Introduction
Materials: binder or large accordion folder, colored pencils, crayons, or markers, glue or glue stick, laminated writing sheet (kit), lowercase letter cards (kit), readers (kit), scissors, sight word cards (kit), thin dry-erase markers (kit), Weekly Message book (kit), word building cards (kit)
This week, your child will review and use the sounds for the consonants r, b, l, g, n, and d and the vowel i. In this lesson and in upcoming lessons, you'll use many of the routines that you introduced in Lesson 1, so you and and your child will grow comfortable with them.
Your child will create several different word family pages and other related pages during this level of Reading, and together, they will make a great collection of the words she's worked with over time. You can store these pages in a 1" or larger binder or in a large accordion folder so that your child can revisit words as she adds to her word collection. If you find that there are words that she consistently struggles to read or recall, you may want to write them on cards to use as flash cards and review them more frequently.
On one or more days this week, encourage your child to re-read the previous lesson's reader (Tap and Pat).
NOTE: As you add to the pages in the Word Collection binder/folder, you may want to the words or word families that your child struggles with and periodically review them.
