Introduction to Fundations!

With Mrs. Gullick, Reading Teacher

Christine Southard, Parent

WHAT IS FUNDATIONS? Fundations is a whole class reading program that instructs kids in the basics of reading: from simple letter sound correspondence, to consonant – vowel - consonant words, to multisyllabic words. Fundations instruction takes place in grades K – 2 at Fishkill Plains and these lessons are the foundations of decoding. If you have concerns about your child’s reading skills, please contact your child’s teacher and the school reading teacher, Mrs. Gullick.
