Week 8 ~ Oct. 21- Oct. 25, 2019


Remember, your child (or you) needs to log in at least 2 Steps each night at home (30 minutes of home reading).  Don’t forget, if your child misses a night of reading, that’s 2 Home Steps missed. Or if he/she is absent from school, 2 School Steps are missed.  These missed Steps must be made up at home or at school.  So…YES!  It is okay to read for more than 30 minutes and log in more than 2 books a night.  Every Step counts!!!!

This week we will:  
  • Learn about the letters Jj and Ll – their sounds and proper letter formation
  • Name, read and spell words that begin with /j/ and /l/
  • Use letters and sounds to write ideas / a sentence down on paper
  • Identify and read at FLASH SPEED our “old” Power Words
  • Learn to read the Power Words:  with   like   a

  • Make connections to stories that we read aloud
  • Count by 1s and 10s
  • Continue identifying and continuing AB, AAB, ABB patterns
