Hi Families,
Thank you so much for your time, attention and care at our conferences a couple of weeks ago. I've had a chance to meet with every family in Room 12 now - it was so great to connect with you all about your child's learning and time at school.
As many of us discussed, there are some easy and simple things that you can do at home to support your kiddo in reading, writing, and math. I've listed some things below for your to refer to as you wish!
Reading Suggestions:
- Daily Reading for 5-15 minutes! Keep an eye out for our Home Reading Package soon.
- Elkonin Boxes
- Elkonin Boxes are a great way for kids to segment the different sounds they hear in words.
- They don't need to know the exact letter or combination - more so the SOUND they are hearing.
-
- Short and Long Vowels
- Many of us are working on short and long vowel sounds. It is important for us to notice these spelling patterns in our reading! Try it when you're completing home reading.
- Word Hunts
- Play games when you are driving, walking, grocery shopping, etc. "I see a dog... What sounds are in dog?" "d-o-g" ""I see a truck... What sounds do you hear in truck?" "t-r-u-ck"
- Reading Opportunities
- Take as many opportunities as you can to encourage your child to read. They can help read recipes, grocery lists, instructions for games, road signs, store names, etc. Get them noticing the ways in which we use reading in the real world!
Math Suggestions:
Math Games

Representing Numbers
- Practice showing numbers in different ways! This is great to do on paper - and even better if it is inside a sleeve and they can use a whiteboard!
- So far we have practiced standard form, word form, expanded form, base 10 blocks and tally marks!
