Reading Homework
All first grade students need to practice reading outloud to an adult for 20 minutes everyday at home. We are sending home several little paper books each week that should be saved, read, and re-read at home. Please record these minutes on your Bee-A-Reader calendar. We also send home a fluency passage. Please time your child for one minute and record at the bottom of the page. Fluency passages come home on Monday and need to be returned on Thursday.
ZENO Sight Words are the 107 most common words your child will see in written text. Learning to read these words quickly and automatically will increase reading fluency. Mastery of the ZENO words will be part of the reading grade. Term 1 - Pass off words 1 - 50 Term 2 - Pass off words 51 - 75 Term 3- Pass off words 76-107 Term 4 - Pass off all 107 words in less than 2 minutes (with NO errors). Please print the ZENO word list and practice the words each night. 107 ZENO Sight Words *These words should be read as whole words-NOT 'sounded out'. |
