Dear Parents,

Homework: Write the red words other and always ten times each.

“Red Words”

We are beginning our third quarter red word activities. Once again, your son/daughter will be required to spell two new “red words” on his/her final spelling test on Friday. Our red words for the week are other and always.

“Green Words”

We will also be learning about syllabication which is a strategy employed in order to become a more accurate reader. A syllable is a word or a part of a word that consists of an uninterrupted expression of sound and includes at least one vowel. By breaking a word into small, manageable syllables, identifying the vowel sounds within each syllable, and sounding out a word syllable by syllable, the reader learns the process of syllabication step by step. Students can learn to see the parts of a word, hear the individual sounds, and then read the word. Our “green word” focus this week will be on “open” and “closed” syllables building background for syllabication with detached syllables. We will practice words with detached syllables on Monday and Tuesday during class. Students will have these words to practice as well as words we have blended and studied during class.

The student’s final spelling test will be on Friday, January 29, 2015.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
