Kindergarteners need to know all the letter sounds and many sight words before 1st Grade. Sight words our words that kids recognize and read without sounding out. I have added that sight word list so you can practice the words with your child through fun games!
I am Ms. Treml and I have been teaching at Assumption BVM for five years and I love every minute of it!!! On our classroom site you will find pictures of the students and information about our classroom! Visit regularly to see what's going on!
