    Madame Martins Grade One

    Newsletter
    November 2016
    Dear Parents,
    November is a busy month in grade one. This month, our pace picks up...we shift gears. We
    continue to build vocabulary, letter/sound skills and sight words but we begin working on reading and
    writing expectations. All instruction is done in French and some students find this overwhelming. Please
    contact me if you have concerns or questions. We encourage you to continue sending healthy lunches and
    snacks to school and that your child is getting enough sleep. Staying focused, alert and ready to learn
    takes energy!
    Respectfully,
    Roxanne Martin

    What is Phonemic Awareness?


    Phonemic Awareness is a group of basic pre-reading skills that are essential to establishing a
    strong foundation for reading. In simple terms, phonemic awareness is the ability to identify the
    individual sound of each letter and then how to manipulate those sounds. Research has established a
    clear progression of skills that should be taught and practiced with children regardless of language. The
    skills involved in this progression transfer from language to language.
