Red Word Review
Write your new red words 3x each with a red crayon. Make your new red words with play-doh, legos, trace them in sand! Whatever you can do!
At some point this week (does not have to be today), please have your child practice writing our first 15 red words. You may print out the red word paper below, or use a plain piece of paper and number it 1-15. I will read each red word out loud. Students should write the red word on the line. Parents, please DO NOT help. This is NOT a true assessment, but will help me gauge which words we need to spend more time on. Please send me a picture of the completed paper when you get a chance. Again, it can be any day this week.
