Memory Word Challenge!
Our Superkids reading program is doing a great job teaching us to blend sounds to read words! There are, however, many words that we will need to learn to read just by looking at them - we call them “memory words.” For the remainder of the school year, we will be participating in Mrs. Myrick's Memory Word Challenge!
Each week, we will introduce and practice five “memory words". We will make flash cards in school and they will be sent home to be practiced along with our nightly homework assignment. In the classroom, we will practice our weekly words with games and other activities.
At the end of each week, the students will complete the “Memory Word Challenge” - if they are able to read all five of our weekly words, they will receive a sticker on our challenge chart. At the end of every four weeks, if they have earned all four stickers and can successfully read the 20 words completed for that period, they will earn a special prize!
At the end of each week, you will receive a report letting you know how your child did during that week’s Memory Word Challenge. If they missed any words, they can retake the challenge during the next week in an effort to earn their sticker. They will also be responsible for learning the five words of the current week.
As with any drill and practice activity, make sure to keep word practice light and fun - duplicate the words onto cards and play memory, post the words around the house and play “Find the word”, build a path with the words on the floor and have your child read each word while jumping from word to word! Learning can be fun!
As always, thank you for your continued support of our kindergarten learners! If you have any questions about this new program, please do not hesitate to contact us!
