Teacher tip
“Of” sounds like “uv”, so it is a word kids have to remember, not sound out. Practice it in “a lot of” and “a slice of”.
How to use it
- Make it the word of the day: post it on the door and ask kids to read it on the way out.
- Put the sheet in a page protector for dry-erase practice all week.
- Keep a sight word ring of flash cards so kids can check spellings.
Watch for
Letter reversals like b and d. Point to the start of each letter and model it again.
Talk about it
- How many letters does the word have?
- Which words look alike? How do you tell them apart?
Take it further
Write the word in sand, shaving cream or with a finger on a partner’s back.
