Which sound is in all these words? In this lesson, students will learn about how words that are spelled differently can have similar sounds. They will look at words like “truck” and “look” to see how two common spelling patterns show up in the English language. After identifying helpful spelling patterns, the class will move onto a sound sorting worksheet to help cement their learning. With these activities, first graders will have another great tool to rely on as they master spelling.
Learning Objectives
