Helping your Student at Home
Parents have been asking me for ways to help their children at home. If you want to help your child to read better at home I have two resources for you. The first is a computer program called Lexia that Prairiview has purchased. If you email me, I will send an information sheet about how to download this program onto your home computer. Another thing I have is a list of sight words your child should learn. These words do not follow the phonics rules so need to be memorized. You could have your child read you the words. Any words that they miss could be put on note cards. Then they could be drilled for a couple of minutes each night until all words are learned. You can also write the sight word in a 3-4 word phrase and have your child read the phrases to you. For example, tongue is a sight word. So the phrase could be "bit his tongue."
