Dear
Parents,
RE: Commonly Used Words
As beginner
readers, the Preps are encouraged to build their word recognition of commonly
used words. We distributed these to assist with reading at home, however it is
important that the children learn these words in a meaningful context, as this
supports the learning and retention of the word recognition.
Strategies for home
-
Focus
on a particular word from the list we gave you if it is repeated in a story.
-
Discuss
the pattern in the text. “I can
jump. I can swing. I can slide.”
-
Make
a meaningful sentence and write it down for them to regularly practice reading.
(eg – I can draw.)
Leave it on the fridge to practice; encouraging them to point to each
word as they read it.
-
When
they can sight recognise the word consistently in other texts the word can be
coloured in on the sheet to celebrate their learning.
Happy
reading!
The Prep Team J
