Sight Word Reading and Spelling of What

The high-frequency word <what> can be rather difficult to spell. This class will explain how to examine the high-frequency <wh> words such as <where, why, when> for both reading and spelling. Each has story about its origin that will help in the understanding of the spelling of these words. The building blocks of these words will be explained and manipulatives will be used to reinforce this concept. The teacher will use story, tactile block demonstration, choral spelling recitation (according to graphemes), and check for student understanding. Students will follow along with provided paper tiles so that they can understand the basics of our English spelling, as well as looking at how to read these words. Students will use visual, auditory and tactile senses during this exploration. After this class, your student will be able to the interconnectedness of these <wh> high-frequency words.
