October Word Study



In the month of October, we are going to learn another set of glued sounds - words that end with-ng/nk.  For example, r-ang, s-ing, l-ong, and h-ung / b-ank, p-ink, h-onk, and j-unk.

The students should understand that these glued (or welded) sounds are composed of three letters.  Each of these letters has an individual sound.  However, these sounds are closely glued together making it difficult to separate them.  To tap them, we use three fingers tapping together at the same time. When we write a word with a glued sound, we draw a box around it.


The new trick words for the month of October are:

Out
To
Two
Are
About
Into
Only
Other
New
*Don't forget about September trick words!!!

The new words of the week are:

Rang
Hung
Long
Thank
Junk

Remember that with respect to the weekly words, the students need to read and spell them, understand the different meaning of these words, be able to use them in a sentence, and mark the parts of the words that we studied.

We are going to have quizzes every Friday on weekly words and tappable words.
