Please continue to practice sight words and nonsense words often. At the beginning of May, the Reading teachers will test each child for an End-of-the-year Kindergarten test.  Children will need to write a dictated sentence or two, recognize, write, and give the sound of every letter of the alphabet, be able to provide a word that begins with every letter of the alphabet, and be able to write as many words correctly in 10 minutes. Students may write sight words, word family words, names etc.  Please try at home to work on some of the areas to be tested to ensure that your child is fully prepared.
