2. Spelling Words ELA Parent Page to Help Prepare for Week 18 (Extension)
Dear Family Member:
This week our class will focus on how people’s words can lead to change. We will be discussing the idea that what people say can influence others’ opinions.
Here are some activities you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.
Words to Know: suffixes In this activity, you will think of a sentence that includes one list word, but you will omit the list word as you say the sentence. Your child will fill in the blank with the list word and then define the word. You’ll continue this until you have used all the words on the list.
Spelling/Phonics: plurals You will say the singular form of each list word and then challenge your child to spell the word as a plural.
Comprehension: fact and opinion
Vocabulary
