Dear Parents,

Red Word Focus

This week we will review the six Red Words we have been studying for the past two weeks. Our Red Words will be don’t, push, its, it’s, eye, and above. All students will have these six words on their Friday Red Word spelling test. Please remember that these words are non-decodable words, and they do not follow the rules of phonics.

Green Word Pattern Focus

Our “Green Word” pattern focus for the week will be the vowel digraph “oo” which has two ways of pronunciation, “oo” as in hoot and “oo” as in good. Please practice these words as your child brings them home on dictation pages. Weekly spelling words may come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more “oo” and “oo” words on their Friday spelling test.
