Words to Know
Let’s write some sentences about an event we might plan that celebrates
something special about our family. I’ll make up a sentence about this
family event, and I’ll use one of the vocabulary words on the list. Next,
you identify the vocabulary word and what it means. Then, you make up
a sentence about the family event and use another word from the list,
and I’ll tell you what the list word means.
Spelling Words
I’ll let you see the words for two minutes. Then I’ll say each word for you
to spell. Tell me what letters stand for the r-controlled vowel sound in
the word.
