The first graders are reading "Tab is a Cat" as their golden envelope reading tonight. The book emphasizes the short a sound (like the sound "a" makes in "apple"). If your child gets stuck on any of the words, ask what they know about the word, ask if the picture helps, or cover up part of the word, and show just one letter at a time, asking your child to make the sound that letter makes. If they read a word incorrectly, ask them to reread the line it's in. Often they'll self-correct just by rereading. If they don't self-correct, try asking, "Does that sound right?" or "Does that make sense?"
Just a friendly reminder that Hallowe'en candy should stay at home to be eaten there. Thanks.
Also, now with the colder weather upon us, it would be a good idea to label all your children's winter clothing, including individual mittens. Thanks again!
Here are some Hallowe'en photos for your viewing pleasure:
