Last week we did a huge review of the long vowel spellings and patterns for each vowel. For grade two I would now expect students to use some sort of long vowel spelling for all long vowels. For example if they were spelling drain, if they spelled it with a silent e (drane) although not spelled correctly, I know that they have heard the long a sound and used a long a spelling. With time and exposure to the word visually many times, they will remember that it is a long a spelling ai. If they are spelling it dran that would not be meeting spelling outcomes for this grade.
Spelling - This week we are studying the ou and ow sounds and word families that use this sound.
Group 1 - out about shout found sound around brown town clown
