Just wondering how the quoted feedback below compares to homework/direction others get.

This was the note included in my Kindergarten DS's report card. It is almost the same feedback we got on DD's Kinder report card from a different teacher when she was in Kinder. She was behind in reading so I really took the feedback to heart (which made me pretty anxious). DS on the other hand is actually doing well so I'm a little surprised there are as many recommended practices. To me it reads like your child is in trouble, you must do these things now.

Besides this comment we got additional pages about how to read to & with him and how to practice sight words. And a double sided page we got earlier this week on reading to our kid. Seeing on the report card makes me feel like the pressure is on.

I love the teacher and recognize how hard this year is, I'm not interested in teacher blaming. I'm just curious if this is the standard issue parent homework list nowadays.

We're distance learning at the local public school in the Bay Area.

"It has been a pleasure getting to know DS in class. He has made good growth this trimester. Please continue practicing letter names/sounds
& recognizing sight words quickly! Play word games to build phonemic awareness skills, such as rhyming & blending/taking apart short vowel words (cat, mug, hop), being sure each sound is said correctly. Keep reading each day to build reading/comprehension skills. Have a mix of them reading to you & you reading to them with books you have at home, book bags, or Raz-Kids.
Practice pointing to one word at a time & saying only one word for each point, finding words/chunks of words they know, & putting sounds/chunks together. Then retell-discuss the 5-finger elements. Continue to practice writing capital/lowercase letters, along with drawing/labeling pictures and writing 1-2 simple sentences to tell the story, being sure to stretch out words & write the sounds they hear. Please practice writing/identifying numbers to 20 & showing them in different ways with objects. Keep up the hard work, DS!"
