Consonant Clusters and Spelling

This week our phonics and spelling lesson was about "consonant clusters."  See below to talk with your student about consonant clusters and review the words we generated together!



After practicing our new spelling routines in class last week, we are officially starting today!  After generating a few lists of words with consonant clusters, students were split into groups and instructed to pick five "just-right" words from their group's list that they will be responsible for learning in the next week.  I then picked the last three words for students to learn, for a total of 8 words.  The kids will keep their spelling words in a pocket in the classroom (see picture), but I have also photocopied them so that they can have them at home to complete their new spelling homework.  Look for a post tomorrow about building our words with magnetic letters!
