Word Rings for Sight Words

Today your child will bring home a word ring full of sight words.  These are words that are essential to building their reading skill and fluency.

The Grade Two students will bring home the ring they finished with last year.  Continue to practice these words and when they can read them without hesitation, please return them to school for the next word ring.

Grade One students will bring home the first ring of words.  These are the most common words we see when reading and prove to be very important for beginning readers.  Practice these words as much as possible, until your child can confidently and consistently read them.  When they are confident in their current word ring, please send it back to school and we will exchange it for the next word ring.

The Grade One students will also be working on sight words during our learning station time over the next few weeks.  Thank you for your support and time with the work being sent home.  This is the first step in building confident readers, and we thank you for helping us with this task.
