Mrs. Thompson's Class Word List
November 3rd - 7th
Our Pattern
This week, we'll focus on how the letter r controls the sounds that vowels make. When the vowel a comes before an r, R doesn't let the vowel make a sound...all you hear is the /r/. When an o comes before an r, R is the only sound you hear again! Watch the videos below for a closer look.
Our Words:
- heart
- cart
- army
- yard
- shark
- smore
- horse
- for
- storm
- sword
Challenge Words:
*barnyard
*popcorn
Home Practice Ideas
- Backwriting - Using your finger, draw each letter on a partners' back, having the partner say the word when completed.
- Sound Words - Use an iPad or any device with a video capture to record your words and their spelling. Then listen to your recording, checking to see that you spelled all the words correctly. Be sure to ask a parent before you use the device!
