RED
Words
These words that are being sent home are
what is known as RED words. These words
are SIGHT words. They don’t follow
spelling or syllable patterns and are not decodable using phonics. Students need to learn how to read and write
them through memorization.
For right now, I am only asking that
students and families work on being able to read them. This will require repeated practice as it
requires memorization. We will also be
working on them in the classroom. New
lists of RED words will come home periodically.
If you like, you can cut them apart and
use them like flash cards. I would also recommend
that you have your child help point out these words to you while you are
reading to them or when they come across it in the ‘real world’.
