ACADEMIC
UPDATES
*Reading Workshop: We spent the last two
weeks learning some “tricky word” strategies.
Ask your child to show you these strategies:
-Eagle Eyes (look at picture for
clues)
-Lips the Fish (get your lips ready to
make the beginning sound)
-Stretchy Snake (stretch out the word)
-Chunky Monkey (are there any chunks
you know? Ex: candle)
-Flippy Dolphin (try both short and
vowel sounds)
-Skippy Frog (skip the word and read
the rest of the sentence to look for clues)
-Trying Lion (try, try again…use all
the above strategies)
-Helpful Kangaroo (if nothing is
working, ask someone else!)
*Writing Workshop: We continue to write
“All About” books. This week we will try
adding some special features to our books like a table of contents, diagrams,
and labels and captions.
