Spelling Rules We've Discussed and Practised So Far
-Word Families for Long Vowel Sounds: (When 2 vowels go walking, sometimes the first one does the talking. It says its name!)
- ay Family, eel family, ain family, ail family
- eat family, oat family, eep
-Chunky Monkeys to look out for: ing, sh, ch, th, tr, er
-Silent E Rule: "The e reaches over and says "SAY YOUR NAME" to the vowel but that's its only job. It is silent. e.g. game, home, came
-Past Tense: "Ed" is a time traveller and he goes to the past. He can make the sound "id" e.g. wanted, "d" e.g. planned, or "t" e.g. walked

This year's homework program will consist of ...a focus on reading, printing words, spelling words. Although I am not tracking homework progress, the expectation is that students read daily and practise spelling weekly.
A note about Spelling...
Please ensure that you have a copy of this years word wall words (WWW). At the BOTTOM of this page is the copy of the word list for this year. Each week we will choose 4 new word wall words to focus on (posted above on a regular basis and written in the communication book). We read them and practice spelling them in a variety of ways.
AT HOME you can:
1) "write them in the air" - write the letters with your finger in the air
2) "Rainbow Write" - using three coloured crayons, have your child write the word completely saying each letter. Choose a second coloured crayon, write over top of the word again ensuring your child says each letters name as they write it. Choose a third colour, and do the same thing. The word will look like a rainbow!
3) "Pyramid Pile Up" - have your child print the first letter of the word wall word. Below that letter, have them print the first and second letter. Below those letters, print the first , second, and third. Repeat this process until the word is spelled completely. ex. c
ca
car
4) Have a white board on the fridge and have your child print the words each day and read them each day.
