Reading

This week week we are learning to use 2 new reading strategies: Sound Talk It and Don’t Forget Elephant.

When we are unsure of a word, as well as looking at pictures for clues and looking at the first letter or the word, we should also be sounding out each sound in the word. Also, we should be looking out for words we may have seen before. Keep revising tricky words at home:
