These words are meant to broaden your child's vocabulary base. You will be amazed at how much your child's vocabulary will grow while he/she is in first grade. Your child is expected to learn the definition of these words. These words are not words that your child willl be required to spell or even learn to read. Although most of the children will begin to pick up on reading these words naturally as the year progresses. On the weekly reading tests, this section is read to the children. We go over the words DAILY during morning message time and during reading class. I also try to use these words in conversation with the children as much as possilbe during the day so that the words become a part of their language. The reading series does throw a few words in the mix that are unusual. The kids tend to get very excited about these words! They are eager to go home and tell their families all about them!!! When your child brings these words home, talk about them. Discuss them and use them in conversation when possible!
