Transcript of Dear Parents, - s3. · PDF fileAckerman, Karen Song and Dance Man ... Isaacs, Anne Swamp...
Dear Parents,
In preparation for first grade, the children are asked to practice
reading sight words over the summer. Sight words (also referred to as
Dolch words, high frequency words, or popcorn words) are a
collection of words that children should learn to recognize without
sounding out. Attached are flash cards of pre-primer and primer
sight words. Being familiar with sight words provides an excellent
foundation for early reading development. Working on a few sight
words at a time, the children may wish to play memory games using
copies of the attached flash cards, write the sight words in chalk on
the sidewalk, play sight word games on the website ABCYa!, and/or
build the sight words with magnetic letters. There are many other
resources and ideas for practicing sight words on the Internet. Our
goal is for your child to be able to identify all pre-primer sight words
by the beginning of first grade and to be able to identify all of the
primer sight words by the middle of first grade.
The children are also required to read 3 books over the summer.
Books may be read by, to, or with your children. Books should be
chosen from the Diocesan Reading List for First and Second Grades.
For each book, the children should draw a picture of their favorite
character and write one sentence describing their favorite
character. A form for this assignment is included. This assignment
should be turned in the first week of school.
Thank you for your support! We are eager to meet the children in
August!
Happy Reading!
Mrs. Hutton and Mrs. van Doorn
