Word Study 2

Here is the focus for this week's Word Study groups. 

You can help reinforce these concepts if you're reading aloud together and you see a word that follows the spelling pattern seen below. 

Check with your child to know which group they're in (they named the groups themselves!).

Troublemakers - endings (-ing) When a verb ends in two consonants, add -ing; when a verb ends in one consonant, double the final consonant then add -ing. Ex: stop becomes stopping; jump becomes jumping

Red Foxes - short and long o sounds Ex: drop; foam

No Namers - prefixes (pre-; fore-; post-; after-) Ex: preview; forecast; meaning before postwar; afterthought meaning later
