letter sounds

This year, we are using ABC Poem of the week to teach the sounds of the letters.

Here are the poems we have learned so far.

Amazing Active Astronauts
Ball-Batting Baboons
Cozy Carefree Camels
Deep Diving Ducks
Eggplants to Eat and Enjoy
Four Feathery Falcons
Gorgeous galloping Gazelles
Hank's Handy Hammer

We read the poems daily, find the letter of the week and find words that we know.  The kids have a lot of fun and often have the poem memorized by the end of the week.

This shared reading experience allows the children to learn many reading concepts: pointing to words as you read (you say one word for each word on the page), familiar words, letter sounds and also knowledge of thins like space, baseball, camels, etc.

Ask your child about the poem of the week over dinner.
