We have been reviewing our lively letter sounds and our sight words. Have your child make Christmas cards for you using sight words (For my aunt from ____, for my mom and dad from ____, etc).  Activities we can use at home to practice:

• Unscramble sentences. Have your child read the sight words in the sentence and then organize the words to the correct spot: https://wordwall.net/resource/2180546/sight-words-1
