When students tap these words that include a glued sound, they keep either 2 or 3 fingers together and say the sound with 1 tap. For example to tap the word, hang, students tap /h/ (1 tap) then /ang/ (1 tap - 3 fingers). INQUIRE with your child how to do this with the word -thing. Last week, our focus was on -ing, -ang, -ung, -ong, sounds, while this week we are looking at -ink, -ank, -unk, -onk glued sounds. Previously, the students were introduced to the -am and -an sounds. Check out the list of words your children came up with this week. Test your child to see which words they have mastered!
Trick words for last week were out, are, and so. This week's focus has been on about, two, and into. Students complete a 'check-up' each Friday. You may have been seeing these in their red folders. Please review these with your child each week.
