- I can read first-grade words that “don’t play fair” in isolation.
- I can use what I know about common spelling patterns to spell words with that common pattern correctly.
In Advance
- Gather a list of regularly spelled nonsense (“silly”) words, using only phonemes and graphemes that have been taught thus far.
- For Spelling with Style, consider teaching students some “styles” so they can choose one or more styles to use.
- Consider adding to the collection of styles as the year progresses.
- Prepare the Cycle 2 Assessment: Lesson 15.
