JK/SK PALS Review

I made this slideshow for my kiddos in JK/SK. The letter sounds and words are no different than the ones I use in the lessons on chart paper, but sometimes adding the projector and presentation makes things more interesting.

Feel free to download and use with your son/daughter at home. At the top of each slide are the instructions to ask them. For example, "What Sound?"

Letter Factory

Today the JK/SK students enjoyed watching "Letter Factory," by Leap Frog. Here is a sample from the movie. I bought this a few years ago at Target for my own son to review the letters and sounds. 

Check it out! 

Here is a picture of the DVD cover.

The students are settling nicely into the PALS routine. I will be testing letter sounds (JK/SK & Gr. 1) and sight words (Gr. 1) this week.

JK/SK Review

The JK/SK class has been working very hard on learning their sounds and words.  The following are a list of the sounds we have worked on so far:

Sight Words to Practice:

One strategy you may want to try is print these sounds and words and review nightly with your child. 
We have also been working on the -at (cat, sat, rat, bat) and -an (man, can, etc.) word families.
