We are continuing with our new approach to the study of spelling patterns! Last week, we studied the word 'happiness'. We talked about syllables, double letters, and vowels. Then, somebody noticed the letter 'i'! This led to a conversation about suffixes, and how words that end in 'y' need to change before the suffix is added. Each student then created a personalized word entry capturing what he/she learned about suffixes. The checkmarks you'll see in our Word Books show where we've included the criteria from our Effective Word Entry chart!
