Instead of spelling Pattern Words, you child needs to practice reading them. Have him read the
list a couple of times each night until he can read all the words correctly.
Thank you for the important support you give your child in learning to read and spell!

Practice reading your Pattern Words. Read them aloud then silently to yourself and then
to someone in your family.
Write each Memory Word on an index card. Put the cards facedown. Draw a card and
read the word to yourself. Then spell the word aloud without looking at the card, and
have a family member tell you the word. Then your family member draws a card and
spells the word aloud. You say the word and spell it again.
