Off to a Good Start!!

Our first week of RtI went very well! The students seem to be excited about switching rooms and learning with different friends throughout the day. I am very happy to be working with many different students. We will continue to have fun with words! We are identifying rhyming words, isolating beginning and ending sounds of words, and blending and segmenting compound words. We are also practicing with different types of sentences, such as reading with "feeling" when we see an exclamation point. I will continue to use Michael Heggerty's Phonemic Awareness Program as well as Wilson Fundations Program to provide the skills needed to help each student succeed.
