Phonics

This week we learned about letter K and it's sound /k/.  We learned that the sound /k/ if followed by i or e is usually proceeded by letter k.  Letter c would be used if followed by /a/   /o/   or  /u/.

Here are some words to practice reading and writing at home:

skip, Kip, skin, taps, tip, fin, skid

New Heart Word:  to   do   of   said

(These are the irregular words that we must learn by heart.)
