Parent Letter

 

OG Notes:
* Multisensory approach (use of sand, textured paper, sky writing etc.)

* One concept taught per week

* Vocabulary, fluency, comprehension is ALWAYS included within concepts

*Green words are phonetic words that can be sounded out.  Students will use sand trays and tapping techniques to practice these words and sounds. 

 

*Red words are non-phonetic words which means they cannot be sounded out! They also include sight words.  Lists will be sent home for practice (students can arm tap to help with memorization!)

 

*Spelling tests look different!
 - Word lists will be related to the concept taught.

(For example, the concept for the week may be short o.  The spelling words may be different on test than what is reviewed during the week - this helps the students LEARN the concept instead of memorizing specific words!)

- Spelling tests may have a few red words/sight words included as well
