As you read, see if you can find words that follow the spelling rules for the week.
Example - in week 1, you are studying the short vowel sounds in words. As you are reading, you come
across another word that has a short vowel sound that IS NOT found on your spelling list.
Show your teacher and you will be awarded a “sweet treat” for that day.
1 sweet treat per student per day. Once a word is found that week, it may no longer be used by other
students. Happy hunting! And remember, your spelling will get better and better when you find these
rules and how they connect to a majority of the words in our language. ****English, like other languages,
is not perfect – so there will be exceptions to the rules we learn in the classroom.
