SLANT Spelling List Week 10

Week of February 24 Stage 2 Unit 3 Focus on syllable division, consonant blends, sticky sounds and suffixes Vowels: a (apple), i (igloo), o (octopus), u (umbrella), e (echo) Consonants: b, c, d, f, g (goat), h, j (jump), k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, y, z Digraphs: sh, th, ch, wh Spelling Rule: sticky sounds: a combination of letters that have to stick together they act as a unit. Each phoneme is still counted as separate, but the unit should be recognized as a whole (-ang, -ing, -ong, -ung) Students will be spelling real and nonsense words for the test following the above word structure. This will give students practice with encoding (spelling). Each SLANT lesson includes a dictation-spelling portion using the word structure provided above. This will reinforce their decoding instruction for the SLANT reading program. We are working to apply spelling rules rather than memorize words. Examples of possible spelling word structures are below:
