Tips from Mrs. Tully

How can you help your child at this time of year?

           Practice writing alphabet letters randomly,

                using lower case letters correctly.

          When practicing  letters please   

                 practice forming the letters quickly and

                 efficiently.  Refer to handwriting sheet   

                 distributed at Parent Orientation.

           Play a verbal game for approximately

                 five minutes a day: have your child

                 give the sound for a letter you say

                 or   give the corresponding alphabet

                 letter for the sound you make.

        Encourage your child to use complete

                sentences at home, not one word answers.

      Encourage your child to say his/her words

               slowly when they can't write a word quickly.

               We have been working very hard on this skill

               which needs to be supported at home.

        If no homework is sent home, read to and/or

               with your child.

     Remember to send in a healthy snack for your

             child to eat everyday.
