ZARA UPDATE

This year in school Zara has been learning her sight words. Every week she gets a book to read with a new sight word in it. Once she has mastered reading the book at home she takes it to school and reads to one of her teachers, then she gets a sticker. The books also focus on the letter of the week. Last week she got her 'R' book. She has also been working on mastering the sounds of each letter and where they are in a word. Because of these great skills she is practicing at school she is beginning to spell words, by sounding them out. She can now spell, mom, dad, and cat. Those are the ones we have worked on so far. She is also reading books outside of school that focus on simple word families. Just thought I would let you know a little of what she is learning at school.
