Word Work

This week our pattern is -ake and the challenge list is: bakery, earthquake, keepsake, handshake, rattlesnake, snowflakes

If your child is consistently getting 7/8 or 8/8 I would encourage you to work on the challenge list with them at home. Many of the words this week are compound words, which is something I am working with in reading groups.

If your child has missed multiple words on an assessment, it's a good idea to keep those chunks posted somewhere around the house and refer back to them from time to time. These spelling patterns transfer into reading and writing and becoming familiar with them really puts them at an advantage as they move into second grade next year!
