LETTER CHART AND KEY WORDS

We will be implementing the Houghton Mifflin Literacy Program again this year.  Children are practicing these letters by telling a story about the letter.  The story follows the same pattern for each letter.  The story is:  the name of the letter, followed by a key word, then the sound.  For vowels, we are practicing the short vowel sound to begin with.  An example of a story is:  Bb, bear, /b/.  Have fun practicing these stories and sounds with your child.
