Spelling Information for the Week of September 19, 2016 to September 23, 2016

Dear Parents,

Green Word Study

Our “Green Word” pattern for the week will be the vowel digraph, ai, as in mail, also referred to as a “vowel team.” The concept of the vowel team “ai” may be introduced by simply noting that “When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.” This vowel digraph or vowel team is usually used at the beginning or in the middle of a word rather than at the end.

We will practice spelling and writing words with “ai” during class each day. 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 “ai” words on their Friday spelling test.

Vocabulary Study

Our spelling test will also include

Red Word Study

Students will write our three second grade red words from last week which are white, talk, and friend. These words are non-decodable words and do not follow the rules of phonics. Please remember, each student must receive a 100 percent on this red word list for two weeks in a row to receive a final grade and a new list of red words.

Please note that this week’s final spelling test will be on Friday, September 23, 2016.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
