Morton's Musings
Communication for the week of September 21, 2015
Reading
Comprehension Strategy - Main Idea and Details. The main idea is the most important idea in a passage or book. The details are the facts or ideas the author wrote to support the main idea. Main idea and details are easiest to figure out as one reads nonfiction books, or books about real ideas/concepts.
Phonics Strategy - Reading words with s and ing endings. As you read with your kiddo this week pay special attention to those words. Remember to help your child understand the s at the end sometimes sounds like a /z/ and that ing is spelled with and i not an e.
Spelling
This weeks words are: sit, sits, win, wins, hit, hits, fit, fits, nap, naps

Words to Read
The words this week are: eat, her, five, four, this, too.
Some students need one or two practices, some need more. Make it fun! Practice in the kitchen where you spell the word in flour and they trace over it then reading the whole word.
