We will begin to learn phonics through learning and recognizing the formation and sound of both consonants and vowels. After this is completed, the class will begin to study and learn basic sight words in preparation for the future grade. Students will learn new word families using word-wheels on a weekly basis. Spelling tests will be given on these words each week. Students will also be placed in reading groups according to their appropriate reading level.
