January 17-27

Students should be able to read these words on sight.

Going, sleep, brown, yellow, five, six, walk.

*This week we will study ccvc and ccvcc words. The vowel is short.

Brag, brad, grip, grill, grin, glad, glum, blot, blab.

Short vowel rule- When there is one vowel in a word and it comes at the beginning or in the middle of the word, it is short.

At this point in the year students should be able to spell the words by listening to the sounds, not memorizing the words.
