Before we learned how to spell, the students were given a spelling notebook. We also learned and practiced the Study Steps to Learn a Word.

- Say the word loud. Does it sound like a word you know?
- Look at the word. Look at how the word is formed. Is there any familiar parts?
- Spell the word. Say the letters to yourself. How does each letter sound in this word?
- Write the word. Check that each letter is clear and easy to recognize. If not try again.
In Week 1 we reviewed the short a and short i vowel sounds.
the words are:
- flag
- fin
- ran
- has
- fill
- sat
- list
- sit
- bag
- win.
