Word Families:
This month we will continue introducing new word families. Our next word
families are listed below:

-un -ug -ut -ing

sun rug put wing

run tug nut sing

bun mug tut ring

fun bug but thing

(The students will be building, reading and sorting words that have the same endings)

Beginning Blends:
(Students will learn how to combine two letter sounds to make these common beginning
blends)

dr- sh- th-

*Can you use these beginning blends with our new word families to
create some bigger words?

Ex: drug, shut, thing

Silent e:
(Students will learn how words change when a silent e is added to the end. A silent e at
the end of a word makes the middle vowel sound says its name.)
