Spelling Information for the Week of October 12-16, 2015
“Red Words”
Red words for the week will be first grade review words. These words are as follows: once, been, could, done.
Please note, if a student did not master a second grade red word for the first quarter on his/her test last week, they will receive the word(s) on the final test tomorrow.
“Green Words”
This week begins our green word review for the first quarter. We will be reviewing “magic e” and –ng words. As stated previously, the concept of magic e is a difficult one for many children. They have learned the name of each vowel and its short sound. The students, conditioned to respond to the symbols of the vowels with a short sound, are now asked to change their response to the established cue. When the one-syllable word ends in e, they must change their response to the long sound of the vowel. Last week the students learned about –ng word endings. The combinations of sounds –ing, –ang, –ong, –ung are taught as endings to simplify the breaking down of words for spelling and reading.
Please review all classroom activates sheets at home to be prepared for this week’s final spelling test on Friday, October 16, 2015.
