Word Work Jan 25-29

This week's Word Work has a word sort that helps students compare and contrast two vowel sounds the broad -a (wa) sound and two different spellings of the /aw/ sound (al and ou).

wa

watch, wash, wand, wasp, swap, swat

al

small, almost, also, walk, tall, salt, calm, talk, stalk, bald, chalk, stall

ou

thought, bought, brought, fought, ought, cought

1/25 Introduced words by practicing reading each word aloud and discussing meanings. Students discovered that many of these words have more than one meaning and can be used as more than one part of speech. For example, watch can mean to look at something but it can also mean the watch that is worn on the wrist!
