S-T-R-E-T-C-H and Spell CVC (Consonant/Vowel/Consonant) Words

In this one-time class, students will discriminate between the sounds in spoken words.  This will be a fun and engaging class to assign and write letters to sounds.  We will first practice STRETCHING the sounds out loud.  For example:  the word "cat" is broken into the phonemes /c/, /a/, /t/.  Then we will play "Spin a Word" and practice writing the CVC words on a dry erase board.  

Students should know most letter sounds in order to take this class.  All words will be in consonant /vowel/consonant format and use the short vowel sounds.  Students should also be able to print letters independently.  

Phonics skills are important and will not be mastered with one class.  I will provide additional "homework" for practice after completion of the class.
