In the month of November we will be learning two new word study concepts and are reviewing one that was previously taught.
First, we will learn about BLENDS:
Blends are words that have two or
more consonants together, each consonant making its own sound (i.e. s k ip). Blends are different from digraphs(th,sh,ch,ck,and wh) because the two
consonants together in a digraph make only one sound (Examples of digraphs are... ship, whip,
thumb).
We mark up blends by underlining each consonant in the blend with a separate line because they have separate sounds. For example:
s k ip, s l ip, s t op, etc.
We mark up blends by underlining each consonant in the blend with a separate line because they have separate sounds. For example:
s k ip, s l ip, s t op, etc.
Second, we will learn about DIGRAPH BLENDS.
Digraph blends are words that have a
digraph (th, sh,ch,ck, and wh) blended with another consonant. For example:lunch.
We mark up the digraph blend by underlining the letter n and underlining the digraph with one line. For example: l u n ch,
b u n ch
We mark up the digraph blend by underlining the letter n and underlining the digraph with one line. For example: l u n ch,
b u n ch
Lastly, we will be reviewing basewords with the suffix
s.
We add the suffix s to a word to show there is
more than one of something. For example: king--- kings.
We mark up the word by underlining the baseword and circling the suffix s.
