Helen B. Duffield Elementary School

As part of their “Fundations” unit, kindergarteners in Mrs. Santoriello’s class are learning to decode words. By connecting letters to their sounds, students break words apart to figure out how to read them. To practice, they went on a fun decoding scavenger hunt, searching the room for words taped to walls and furniture. With a partner, they sounded out each word and wrote it down, putting their new skills into action.
