Fundations - Unit 3

This week we will review previous concepts and learn to write some more cursive letters.

The review Concepts for the third unit are:

• vowel-consonant-e syllable ( v_e syllable)
If the syllable has a vowel, followed by a consonant or digraph, than an e,
the first vowel is long and the e is silent. ex. -- cape, home

• reading and spelling 2 syllable words with a silent e (v_e) syllable and closed syllables. ex-- invite

• spelling rule: Use the letter “k” to represent the /k/ sound in a silent e word ex--like
Use the letters “ck” to represent the /k/ sound at the end of a one syllable short vowel word. ex--lick

The new concepts for the third unit are:

• 2 o’clock cursive letters: c a o These all start on the grass line and move up to the plane line to the 2 o’clock position.

• Homophones (Sound alike words):
week 1: plain plane
