Dear Parents and Teachers,
Thank you for sharing the book Sam and The Cat with your early reader. This book was designed to give children practice with the short "a" vowel sound while building reading skills. The book features sentences that include words with the short "a" sound, which serves as a key component in phonics instruction. Some ways to make the most of this book are to:
Allow students to become familiar with the book. Talk to them about the front cover, title, turning pages, and words reading from left to right.
Encourage engaged reading. Have the child read along with you, pointing to words as they are being read to encourage the connection between sound and print.
Engage in phonics. Ask your child to identify which words have the short "a" vowel sound.
Encourage reading comprehension. Talk to your child about the story and the adventures that Sam and The Cat take to ensure they are understanding what is being read.
Thank you for supporting your child's literacy journey.
