Checking in with Reading

I have assessed your child on some of the reading skills kindergarteners are expected to know by the end of the trimester on March 2nd. Please work on any highlighted areas from the note that is coming home.
Phonological Awareness:

• isolates beginning and ending sounds (at least 5 out of 6)



• blends sounds into words orally/ aurally



• segments words into sounds orally/ aurally



• separates words into syllables



• produces rhymes

Knows the sounds of the consonants (Since many children know all or some, I checked for short vowel sounds as well, though they are not expected of kindergarteners.)

Reads at least 20 sight words
