Language Arts



In Kindergarten we spend our mornings working on reading and writing. We focus on:
 * Letter recogniton and sounds
 * Sight words
 * Identifying beginning, ending and middle sounds in words
 * Comparing words for same or different
 * Rhyme
 * Pre-writing skills
 * Writing using phonetic spelling and resources around our room
 * Using spaces and punctuation in our writing
 * Using before, during, and after strategies while reading
 * Understanding story elements-characters, setting, problem, solution as well as beginning, middle, and end in reading
 * Learning new vocabulary-especially through read alouds
