Language Arts:
Alhamdullelah, we started our
fourth phonic book. Your child will learn these groups of sounds: ai,
j, oa, ie, ee and or. Last week we covered the following: ai, and j. The
focus in this book will be about vowels and digraphs.
Digraphs:
The child needs to recognize
the digraph letter sound from the two letters. Digraphs such as ai, have
two letters, but make one sound.
The child should say the
digraph sound (such as /ai ), not the sound of each letter. This can be
difficult at first but become easier inshaAllah with some practice with regular
words such as rain, pain, wait, nail, paint.
Vowels:
Rule: When two vowels go
walking, the first does the talking. Examples of words that follow this rule are rain, green, leaf,
tie, coat, toe and cue.
Although this rule has some
exceptions, it is useful in the early stages.
Reading:
MashaAllah, Sk1 are doing a
wonderful job by reading simple sentences. The kids are enjoying reading
for their classmates. Way to go Sk1. In addition, we read many stories about
our current theme the winter and hibernation.
Writing:

Math:

In this unit the students
