New list of Fry Words - (101-200)  Practice for fluency. They can also be spelled if your child has mastered fluency.

Lexia - (continue to practice at home) This is a computerized reading/phonics practice for your child. The more they practice the more they will get out of it. Use it as much as you like at home. Students will also be using it about 60 minutes a week at school. Make sure you log into the Core 5 @ http://www.lexiacore5.com/ see http://www.lexialearning.com/product/core5/ for details about the program.
