Star Words and Good to Know Words
-
Below are the Benchmark words taught during the course of the year. This is our second year using this program and we are very excited about the reading possibilities! Of course, everyone learns best in small increments, reviewed often until they know the words as easily as they know their own name. So it is very important to start practicing a little bit every day. A little bit often is much easier to manage than a lot of words all at once.
Our plan is to send the words home on a colored strip that you can cut like flash cards, 3 at a time, as we learn them. Separate the words by cutting on the divided lines and store them in a Word Box (October Family Project). Families who make time to review the words often by playing games with the words, acting as word detectives in books read together, etc. from the very start are the most successful. They are amazed at what good readers their children have become by the end of the year! Of course, the more words your child masters, the easier reading will be for now, first grade, and forever on!
