Letter Reversals

Sounds Video

Sounds

‘AU /AW’

have a huge crush on each other,
and whenever they have to stand ‘side-by-side’ in a word,
they get so embarrassed,
they always look down and say-

“ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

Examples: August, awful, awesome, autumn

‘EU / EW’

These letters are very “prim and proper” little girls who are deathly afraid of mice! If they ever see one, they will jump up-high, in complete disgust, screaming —

“eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

and that’s the sound they make!

Examples: few, chew, neutral, neuron 

‘ER /IR /UR’

They LOVE to go driving in cars,
but they are terrible, awful, horrible, ‘no-good’ drivers-
so they always have to slam on the brakes!

“ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

Examples: bird, turn, corner

‘TH’

These two letters should never be together- EVER!
And yet, pick up any book, and look at any page,
And there they are, side-by-side!

And whenever they are together in a word,
They always do exactly the same thing-
They ‘stick their tongues out at each other’ and say-

“Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Examples: this, that, those, them, they

‘OUS’

Whenever three friends play together,
one always seems to get ‘left-out.’

And when these three play-
it’s always ‘poor little o’ that never gets to join in the fun!

That’s why, when ‘o, u & s’ get together…

“It’s just…………… “US!”

Examples: ridiculous, strenuous, joyous

Solving Word Problems

Math Word Problems can be tricky.  We are learning clues to solve them.  Circle the numbers you are dealing with.  Find the key word that tells you what you need to do (add, subtract, multiply, or divide).  Solve the problem.  Check to see if you need to do this more than once.

Starting today, we are working hard for eggs.  Every time we go up a reading level we get to select an egg of our choice.  Inside it is filled with 3 special prizes.  I can't wait to see you earn lots of eggs.  Let's read, read, read!

Calling All Writers

We will be reviewing how to write sentences and check for errors in our spelling, grammar, and punctuation.  Notice how the words above are put together into scoops.  This "scooping" is used to help with reading fluently and less robotic.
