This page will include links to important resources that you can use throughout the year.
Rainbow Words
We call our sight words Rainbow Words at Carderock. Your child will be introduced to these rainbow words throughout the year. The words are grouped into different categories, and each category has a color name, starting with red and ending with silver. Each child starts on their red rainbow words, and once they are able to read each word on that list, they move onto the next color list. They continue this pattern until they have completed their silver words. We will do this work with them at school, but you are encouraged to practice your child's rainbow words with them at home. Click on the button on the right to get a copy of the rainbow word list. |
Text Features
Text features are parts of non-fiction texts that readers can use to help them collect information. Your child will learn about many of the different types of text features that are featured in texts throughout the year. There might be questions about text features on your child's baggie book questions. Use the button on the right to download a chart of text features, with examples, to have as a reference at home. |
