The Literacy Block in Week 9

PATTERN BOOKS


We finished our Pattern Books this week.  The children were very proud of their success as writers here, and were very keen to share them all with you during our Parent/Teacher evenings.


Just look at some of these beautiful pictures.


The beautiful writing.


And believe me the pride they had in their independence as they wrote was clear to see.

READING


Each day we read our Big Book together.  This is where we look at and discuss the many different reading  strategies that good readers use.


This week we also introduced Reading Partners.



While your partner was reading it was very important that you listened and followed carefully with your eyes, so that you could check your partner's reading, and help if needed.




All the children did a wonderful job!



We have been continuing our work with our skills in hearing the beginning sounds in words, as seen here with this game of "Letter Hop".



This game of "Spinners" also focuses on the beginning sounds.


SPELLING


We use our little whiteboards to practice writing our high frequency words










As you see many of us are building up a nice little number of words which we are now able to write all on our own.
