The last two groups need the second letter. Model one together.
How to use it
- Keep a sight word ring of flash cards so kids can check spellings.
- Send a copy home so families can play too.
- Read every word on the sheet out loud together before kids start.
Watch for
Kids who guess from the first letter. Ask them to look at the whole word, all the way to the end.
Talk about it
- Which word was the hardest to read? Why?
- Can you find one of these words in a book from the class library?
