 Spelling Homework: 
 

Simultaneous Oral Spelling Activity (SOS):  

This is to be done with any words that are spelled incorrectly.The student will say the name of each letter as it is written. As each letter is written, students are to also tap with the opposing hand (not the dominant hand) for each letter, starting with their pinky, moving in a left to right direction (or opposite, if left handed).For example, if the student misspells “lunch” and they are right handed, they would write and say “l” and tap their left pinky on the table, then “u” and tap their ring finger on the table and so on and so forth. Left handed students would tap with their thumb first. Here is a link that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=872P7gr0c0o


Syllable- 
has one vowel sound, can be long, short, or schwa, 
and is one push of breath. There are six types of 
syllables. 

So far, we have reviewed all six of the syllable types:

Open Syllable-
An open syllable is "open" because a single vowel is located at the end of a syllable, as in words like hi and go. When the syllable is open, the vowel makes the long vowel sound (it gets to say its name). Other examples- ba-sin, tri-pod, ra-cer.  Ba, tri, and ra are all open syllables. 

* Please have your child copy the following in their notebook:
Open Syllable- When the syllable is open, the vowel makes the long vowel sound (it gets to say its name).

Also, please have your child complete one activity from below. When possible, please watch this video with your child at some point between Monday and Thursday:
