PALS

Some parents have been asking what PALS is. This is an instructional time led by the PALS teacher that focuses on literacy.

Here are a few pictures of the work that they do during this time.

In partners, one child points to the letters and asks "what sound?"
The other child responds with the sound.

They repeat the top portion, and then jump over the line to the next section.
"What word?" These are the high frequency words we focus on during the next 2 years in the FDK program.
The next section focuses on how to sound out. Sound it, sing it, read it.

Partnership is going well here!!

This is an example of a lesson we work on daily. One letter is the main focus.

This is a partnership in action. Lots of great dialogue going on here.
