Last week we began our next unit in CKLA! Unit 4 is devoted to introducing more spelling alternatives for vowel sounds and tricky spellings. Vowel sounds and their spellings are the most challenging part of the English writing system! Different areas we will be covering include:
Tricky Spelling
'e' can be pronounced /e/ (pet) or /ee/ (me)
'i' can be pronounced /i/ (it) or /ie/ (biting)
'y' can be pronounced /ee/ (funny), /i/ (myth), /ie/ (try), or /y/ (yes)
Tricky Words
Words like people, walk, grownup, building and statue are introduced and pre-taught during lessons before seeing them in their reader. These are words that are not necessarily challenging, but do not follow the rules of English.
Multi-Syllable Words & Chunking
Decoding words
Syllable division
Reader
The Job Hunt: This is a fictional book.
Kim, a college student, hunts for a job. Her younger brother, Kurt, follows along as she goes from place to place in search. Kim and Kurt will visit many places in New York City as they ride the subway and walk to each location.
