READING/SPELLING

With our previous spelling lists, we have been working on ways to determine the syllables in each word. The purpose of this is to help the students understand that finding/listening for syllables in a word can help them when they are reading and spelling words. We are also focusing on using word chunks/word families to help create or read other words. Just like they used the -at- word family (cat, hat, sat, etc.) to help read/spell other words, we're using the same concept but with more complex letter patterns (such as -tion, -ture,- eigh, etc.) We will continue to do activities to practice this in class and you will also find that some of the homework will relate to this, so be sure to check agendas daily. :-) Happy Word Making!
