This week, our group will continue our exploration of silent letters and we will delve into the world of kn as in knuckle, knob, and knee.  Later, this week, we will also look at the suffix -ion.  In addition, we will continue to read to the first grade students, so please be sure they are reading and practicing their part. They are really improving their phrasing and expression and I am so proud of them!

As always, each night, the students will have a reading passage to practice and they will have new red words on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  Please be sure to have your child practice the reading passages each night, review all red words on their ring, and look over their Root Word list.  If you every have any questions about what we are doing, please don't hesitate to email me!

This past week, we finished up with 211 Doubling rule, then we moved on to or making /er/ sound.  This week we will talk about ar making the /er/ sound and also we will look at words with the VRR pattern.  This is a vowel followed by two r's as in the words hurry, berry, etc.

Red Word Practice Suggestions:

Here are some fun ways to help you learn your red words. 

• Use a ball – bounce it, throw it, shoot baskets (say each letter for each movement)
• Make up a rhyme or a rap with the letters of the word
• Write the words- Use sidewalk chalk, dry erase board, colorful pens and pencils
• Trace them in sand, glitter, or shaving cream
• Spell them out with magnets on the refrigerator
• Decorate them with designs that help you remember each letter
• Form the letters of the words with play-doh
• Using a flashlight and keeping the arm and wrist straight, write the letters of the words on a wall with the light.

I hope everyone had a restful weekend! Last week in reading, we were talking about words ending in -ous and this week, we will be continuing with that same sound and working with -us words.  A big distinction in these words is that -ous words are adjectives and -us words are nouns (ex. callous and callus). We will also be learning some new prefixes, base words, and suffixes along with some motions to help us remember them.
