Reading is fun

Families ~

Every week we focus on a specific phonics skill, math skill, vocabulary word(s), and/or reading comprehension skill. This section of the blog can be an excellent place for you to quickly find out what we are focusing on in the week. Please check it often and review it with your child. The revision with you at home will help the children deepen their understanding of the skill.
