Please click on the following websites to help improve your letter sound awareness and reading skills. Please let me know what you think of these websites.

Thank you,
Mrs. Garcia


Reading Folder

Reading Folder-It is very important that your child read these words every night. High frequency words must be memorized. Please do not sound out these words. I will test them each day with them reading me the words at school. When they master one sheet I will add another sheet for them to practice reading. Then I will add sheets with word families and then sentences for them to read. If they have not mastered one sheet I will not add another sheet. It is very important to practice each night with your child and bring this folder to school every day. We will be testing in December and need to prepare our children for this test.

Please review the High Frequency Word List 1 below.

High Frequency Word – List 1

Your child will have to know these high frequency words. Please practice with them daily. Do not sound out high frequency words.  Knowing these high frequency words is a crucial part in reading successfully.
