IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Students have been working on writing the sounds they hear and stretching out words. Please continue practicing letters and sounds of the alphabet at home. Many students are able to sing the Alphabet song, but are unable to identify letters and sounds when asked at random. Students may become frustrated during writing time if they are not familiar with letters and sounds as they are stretching out words. Practicing this at home will help build confidence in your child.
