Saxon Coding!!

Saxon has now taught us 3 different ways of coding words so that we can read the words. I coded two different papers for you to see. One we will be completing together in class. The other your child will be completing at home. Please remember the word lists need to be coded and then your child needs to read the words to you. (If you child has trouble reading the words, instruct them to take out "their pretend cutting board and pretend knife." They can chop up the words and then put the sounds together and read the word.) 

You'll notice we are still coding "A vowel followed by a consonant with a breve." So that the vowel will make the short sound. We colored over the blend /st/. We're learning that a blend is "two letters that come together to make one sound!" (They jump out of your mouth together instead of being alone. They you'll see double consonant, "If there's a double consonant, the second one gets a slash."

Then after we have done all the coding, it is time to READ THE WORDS!! Reading the words is the most important step. :) 

You'll notice that we have coded the words on the paper and now you are able to do the most important step... READ THE WORDS!! Don't forget after your child has read the word correctly, to put a check mark in the box. :) 

*If you ever have any questions about coding, PLEASE reach out by email to both of us and we will help you. We take grades on coding and word reading. We do not want your child to fall behind!!
