READING/PHONICS RESOURCES
Raz-Kids: Kids access their leveled text through an interactive learning portal designed to keep them motivated and engaged. Every eBook is available in online and mobile formats, and allows students to listen to, and read at their own pace. Students then take a corresponding eQuiz complete with an extended answer response to test comprehension and determine future instruction needs. Once a child has read ten or more of the leveled eBooks and passed each of the corresponding eQuizzes, they advance on to the next reading level where they have access to lengthier and more difficult text.

Reading Strategies in Kindergarten
This is the Handwriting Without Tears Alphabet Chart we use in the classroom. If your child is still working on identifying the letters of the alphabets and/or the sounds each letter makes, this would be great practice.
Identify Missing Letter Activity: Cover a few letters on the Alphabet Chart, ask your child what letter is missing?
Letter Sound: Point to a letter, ask your child to tell you the sound that the letter makes.
Writing Resource: Students use this when they are writing too! I have them use this this chart when they are trying to write the letters accurately in their writing.
