Readers Are Word Detectives!

First grade readers learn vocabulary words to increase word knowledge. They tackle 6-8 high frequency words every week, as well as words with short and long vowel sounds. We are approaching the half-way marker in first grade, and are now adding digraphs, 2 or more letters that make 1 sound. Skill sheets like this are completed by "partners". Pairs of students reread a story and locate words with these sounds.  They enjoy reading and hunting for as many words as possible!
