Thank you for taking time out of your day to come and talk with me about your child's progress!

Phonics/Reading

Last week our letter focus was  on Yy and its sound /y/ and letter Jj and its sound /j/.  This week we learned about letter Xx and its sound /k/s/, as well as letter Qq and its sound /k/w/.

We learned that letter q is always followed by letter u in English words.

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

quest    quit    squid    next   box   six

Can your child read these sentence?

Did you text me?

He quit the quest.

New Heart Word:  are    let

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