Homework
Heads Up!
Families,
Homework is due on Friday, completed. Please see the video below explaining the UFLI homework.
For the reading passage, please listen and watch your child read for 1 minute straight. Mark the section at the bottom each day, circling the words they get correct and incorrect. You may need to read the entire passage aloud to help them with the comprehension questions on the back.
The expectation is that your child reads the passage once a day and grows in their number of words correct by Friday.
Math homework is to be completed and returned with reading on Friday. We suggest all homework stays in your child’s folder during the week so it does not get left at home Friday.
Let us know if you have any questions,
First Grade Team
How To Do the UFLI Homework
Please view the videos below with directions to help you with homework at home! We will send homework with this format each week to help you keep it consistent. The documents below are instructions in English and Spanish, as well as a list of ALL heart words this year.
The video below is a SAMPLE PAGE. The HALF SHEET is always the one intended for homework that week for your child, and should match the spelling rule on their fluency passages.
