Welcome to the Literacy Corner

 In Kindergarten this week we are focusing on "building words."  I have included the following worksheets that you can print to work on at home with your child.

The students are learning that "onsets" + "rimes" build words.

Onsets are the beginning sound of a word that could be a consonant, a consonant blend, consonant digraph or a vowel.

Rimes are a group of letters that form word endings.

Game-like activities such as these, use onsets and rimes to sort words, make words, classify words, find little words in big words, blend, segment, and substitute letters to make words.

In these activities, children are learning letter patterns in words.  As they make a word
ask them to write it out on a
blank sheet of paper to practice
their writing skills.
