Digraphs
This week we are reviewing the K concept of digraphs. Digraphs are 2 letters that go together to make a NEW sound. We are learning Sh, Ch, Wh, and a voiced and unvoiced Th sound.
EX/ Shop, Chip, Whip, them, bath
1-1-1 Rule / Sammy Rule/ FLOSS Rule
This rule explains when we should double the final letter in a word such as "jazz", "pass", "puff" or "fill". The word needs to follow the following rules: One syllable, One short vowel, and the s, l, f, or z sound at the end.
To help students remember this, we use the Acronym "Sammy Loves Friendly Zebra's"
Compound Words
A compound word is made up of 2 smaller words. Currently, we are only using compound words that students can sound out each syllable (CVC ords or CCVC words)
When students sound these words out, they should be sounding out both words separately. In class, they use a hand on their desk to pound the syllables and tap the sounds. Compound words will get 2 pounds (bathtub- pound for bath, pound for tub) them students individually sound out each words by tapping a finger (bath- b-a-th, tub- t-u-b)
Open and Closed Syllables & Syllable Division
This is a tough week with a lot of information! Please watch my video below if you are confused with the concept this week :)
Concept 36- R Blends
a blend is a combination of two or more consonants that are placed together to form a single sound.
You can hear both letter sounds in the blend, which is different than a digraph. This week, all blends will have an r as the second letter
The r blends are br, dr, tr, cr, gr, and fr
Example/ brag, drag, trap, frog, grass, crib
