This week is our review week in Reading.  We have finished our stories in 
Unit 3.  Please make sure to practice all of the high frequency words that we 
have learned so far.  Also, please practice sounding out the words in the 
books that your child brings home every week.  I will be sending home some 
word cards for you to cut out and use as flashcards.  The high frequency 
words will be the words that we have covered as well as the words that we 
will be learning in the weeks to come.
