Word Study
Every two weeks we will focus on a sound pattern. I will give five examples on the newsletter each week. Each Friday we will have a word study quiz where students will be given ten words with the pattern. Along with these words students will be asked to spell three sight words that we have practiced. They will also be asked to dictate two sentences.
Sight words: has, to, into
Word Study: shed, math, chop,
Quizzes will be graded by a rubric and will be recorded as a daily grade.
