Word Wall/Words/Trick Words

*You will notice each time that we begin a new unit in Fundations that a letter for families will go home.  Within the letter will be the key components of the unit along with the trick words students will be introduced to.  Students and families can cut the trick words out to practice reading, writing, and spelling these as they will be on our end of unit tests.

Please take a look below to see the trick words we are working on.

When learning new trick words, we are working on understanding that even though trick words are tricky that there are parts of these words that we can actual sound out and are expected while other parts of the word may not sound like we expect.  These unexpected parts are the heart part of the word that we have to commit to knowing by heart.  The link below helps to explain heart words and includes videos of how we teach trick words in our classroom.  Not every trick word is listed but it is a great resource to use at home with the kids too. https://www.reallygreatreading.com/heart-word-magic
