Dear Parent/Guardian:
As you may know, your student is participating in a program, Blast Foundations, that teaches phonics, which means your child is studying the relationship between letters and sounds.
Blast Foundations is one of the effective and engaging programs that make up Really Great Reading's Phonics Suite™. The phonics instruction for students participating in these lessons will help them read with confidence and accuracy, and will thereby increase their ability to comprehend more difficult materials.
Blast Foundations lessons provide the intensive, targeted instruction and interactive practice that students need to master essential reading skills. Once students complete the lessons, they should be stronger readers. The result is that they are more motivated in academic classes and that their school performance improves.
We are committed to increasing literacy outcomes for all of our students. Really Great Reading is excited to partner with the school to provide materials, teacher training, and teacher mentoring for the lessons.
No specific reinforcement for these lessons is needed at home. As always, we encourage you to read with your child at home.
If you have any questions, please contact:
Respectfully,
