I will the teacher will keep in contact with parent and Chris over the summer to keep up with his progress.

Overall Goal of the Summer Learning Kit. • Reading is an energetic involved process in which the reader works aggressively to create meaning from text, activities and the use of technology. Effective readers are involved in the process of reading and are actively looking for meaning from text. In order for this to take place, students must have the ability and capability to adjust their reading to fit the type of material being taught. To make meaning and build understanding, students need literacy skills. These skills can help to prepare students with strategies that will help them access and use background knowledge, text feature knowledge, and general knowledge gained from the lesson being taught in the classroom and the lessons being taught in the world. They can help activate and organize students’ prior knowledge about a topic and the text. These strategies and the use of technology can help shed light on unfamiliar vocabulary and concepts, help students anticipate the text, and help them make personal connections with it, therefore encouraging their interest, engagement, and motivation.

Sight words are words that appear again and again in our language that children should recognize instantly, and learning them thoroughly is a big boost for any young reader. Here’s an outdoor activity that uses chalk and a wet sponge to help reinforce recognition of common written words and assists your child's spelling abilities. This is a great game for a hot, summer day and a great way to build their spelling and reading skills! • Find an empty, clean spot of pavement, perhaps on a driveway or local playground. • Have your child help you write out some common first grade spelling words like, "with" or "there" or "that." (Use the sidewalk chalk) • Dunk the sponge in the pail of water, and take turns throwing the wet sponge at each the word. See how long it takes to "melt" away the sight word. • For an extra twist, you can challenge your child to some “selective” melting too—for example, only vowels, or only first letters. Mix it up any way you want as she starts getting better at reading. • Once the word is completely gone, have a little contest to see if your child can remember how that meltaway word was spelled. If Chris is not sure, pull out that chalk and those sponges again and be prepared for hours of fun. • Activity 4 - Go to the following website and read the online reader about the beach. • http://www.starfall.com/n/fiction-nonfiction/at-beach/load.htm?f
