Ways To Practice At Home:

● Listen to your child read the decodable book that they are bringing home 
each week. This is an orange and white book. Your child has the skills to 
read every word in this book - it only includes word patterns that we have 
learned so far! 
● Multi-sensory Word Work: Lead your child in writing words using shaving 
cream, flour in a baking sheet, sidewalk chalk, or play-doh. Make it fun! 
● Create a set of flash cards with each word written twice. Play a memory 
game together! 
● Let your child type their words on a computer.  
● Use old magazines and newspapers and let your child cut out letters to 
build words.
