The children in Junior Infants have been doing amazing work learning their new sounds and tricky words to get ready for reading and writing! All of the sounds we have done so far are in the soundbooks and we know the words a, and, I, the, to and me. It's fun to spot the words we know in this video at lunch time:
Seniors are also doing great work with their reading. Their Dolch List words are really important to help them read independently.
Next week the children will be starting their Oxford Readers, which are graded books. On Monday and Wednesday the children will read their new book in school and bring it home for two nights. Please keep the readers in the homework folders. The children will also get a class reader in two weeks time. Before they bring home their reader they need to get used to the words in it. Every evening your child will have new words in their wordboxes. Please practice these every day with your child. This will be a big help to them when they start the class readers!
As always, if there are any issues or confusion about the homework, just let me know!
