Term 1, Week 10

Word Work

Most mornings in Room 8 we participate in word work. Word work involves practicing our phonics and spelling. We start with word rumble where spelling words come up on our interactive board and we copy them on our own mini whiteboards. Sometimes we have to have very fast hands to write the long words quickly before they disappear! We then chant our alphabet names and sounds as well as our blends and digraphs. Each week we focus on one sound and we brainstorm as many of the words that we can that contain that sound - for example words have the short 'a' vowel sound (cat, mat, apple, and...).

We use what we learn in word work to help us with our writing and reading.
