We had a
short week but we had lots of fun!
At school
this week we:
·
Reviewed
all of the letters and letter sounds. We
know all of them now!
·
Introduced
tapping
o
Tapping
is Fundations’ way to blend words with three sounds. The students say each sound separately and
then blend the sounds together. The
students tap their index finger to thumb and say the first sound, middle finger
to thumb saying the second sound and then ring finger to thumb while saying the
third. Then the students blend the
sounds and say the word as they drag their thumb across the three fingers
beginning with their index finger.

We
will be further introducing this in January and I will be sending home more information.
