Last week...
-Continued with suffix ure, used in words such as picture (ture says /cher/)

-*ea /short e/ as in bread, instead  

-Review of suffixes: -ist (one who does) as in dentist; -y as in grumpy, -en (to make, made of) as in deepen; - ize (to make; forms verbs) as in fertilize 

 

This week...

- Review: Suffix-ate (to make or do) as in vacate, donate, fascinate, educate
- Suffix -ure found in >sure /zher/ as in pleasure, measurement 

Note: *We covered ea as in bread before sure /zher/

-ey /long a/ as in they, obey will be next 

HOMEWORK: Students should read the passage sent home at least twice (once silently and at least once out loud to an adult). Our goal is for each student to improve in reading fluency which includes accuracy, speed, and expression. Please encourage reading with "expression" at home -- and we will work on it in class!

Red words will be sent home each day. If a new red word is not sent, review the others on the ring.

 

Thank you!
