Literacy
Jolly Phonics: We have learned and will review S,
A, T, I., P, N, C, K, E, H, R, M, D, G, and O. We will learn U and L
this week.
ABC Boom: We say the following sounds as we make the strokes.
- Plop:
Most letters "start in the sky and drop down to the ground”. We use
tall plops to form upper case letters and lower case letters like Tt,
Ll, and Hh. We use short plops to make lower case letters like m, n, and
r.
- Vroom:
This is the horizontal stroke that goes from left to right. We use it to
start lower case e and we also use it in upper case letters such as T,
E, F, A, Z, and H.
- Boing:
This is a curved stroke that reminds us of a hop. We use it to create
the curve in letters such as h, m, and n.
- Blowing
Sound: This stroke makes a circle. We imagine blowing a pinwheel
as it goes around in a circle. We use it to make Oo and Q
- Splash:
We picture a fish or a dolphin splashing in the water to make a U shape.
We find this stroke in U, u, q
- Prrrshhh:
We think about a rocket taking off. We start from the bottom and
go straight up. We find it in a, d, g, q, N
- Shlang:
We think about the helmet of an astronaut closing. We find it in
P, p, b, B, D, R
- Beep,
Beep: We think about a truck backing up. This is the opposite of
vroom. We find it in G, and we can also use it instead of vroom
for the tops of F and E.
- YOOP:
We think of a worm going into the ground. We find YOOP in J, j, g
Sight Words: me, I, it, like, the, is, in
