Handwriting
Adams Central students are taught to write using a traditional manuscript that is easy to read and found in many places. The strokes consist of straight lines and circles. The ultimate goal of handwriting instruction is for students to write legibly, fluently, and comfortably. Students will learn cursive writing in second grade.
Sight Words
Students will be expected to recognize sight words by the end of the year. Mastering sight words is critical to reading, not only because they are used so frequently, but also because many of them are not easily sounded out. Knowing our sight words in a snap helps us become more fluent readers. We will practice 5 words per week in the classroom, beginning with the words: an, at, can, man, we.
