Students will be able to build and distinguish between real and nonsense CVC words.
Introduction
(5 minutes)- Write ‘tog’ on the board. Ask for a volunteer to read the word.
- Ask, “Does that sound right? Is ‘tog’ a real word?”
- Introduce the term ‘nonsense’. Say, “Nonsense words are silly, make-believe words that we sometimes use to practice sounding out. When we know all the sounds that letters make, nonsense words are easier to read.”
