#LTT #LiteracyTipThursday Here is another activity to do at home to support a child's phonemic awareness.
Blending: Parent - "Can you blend (put together) three sounds to make a word?" Say the SOUNDS (not letter name) /g/ /e/ /t/. Your child will repeat those sounds back and then tell you the whole word. Child: "/g/ - /e/ - /t/ > get"
* /m/ /o/ /m/ > mom
* /t/ /a/ /p/ > tap
If your child is having difficulty, try slowly blending the sounds and then ask your child to say the word, or start with 2 sounds adding more sounds as they progress.

If your child is staying for Little Cheer tomorrow after school, please contact the office or send a note with your child tomorrow.

#LTT #LiteracyTipThursday Below are some terms you may encounter in your child's reading instruction this year:
* Word Mapping = the process of breaking a word down into its phonemes (sounds) and writing the graphemes (letters) that represent the phonemes.
* Heart Words = high frequency words that have a "tricky part" that cannot be decoded. For example, the word SAID - the /s/ and /d/ can be sounded out or decoded. The ai portion of the word says /e/ which must be learned by heart.

AHS Boys Basketball travels to the Oran Tournament tonight for a consolation semifinal. Game is scheduled for 7:30pm. There is no streaming option.
Come support the team!
