Homework

Nightly:

• Read with your child/listen to your child read - library books, classroom readers
• Practice reading and writing sight words so child can read them "like popcorn"!
• Practice with five and ten frames, dot cards, dice, counters, until children have subitized (pictures in the brains of the quantities) the number bonds for the numbers 1-10

GREAT website to learn to subitize the number bonds:

• Illuminations Five Frames
• Illuminations Ten Frames
  

As the opportunities arise:

• Have your child problem solve with small numbers in natural settings (Ex.: There are five people in our family.  I have put two plates on the table.  How many more do I need to put on the table so everyone has one plate? etc.)
