Spelling and Word Study Concepts

Mrs. RHS introduces Unit 31, focusing on words where 'I' sounds like 'Y'. The lesson covers the phonetic aspect of these words, emphasizing that the 'Y' sound is part of a larger syllable. Students are guided to identify and mark these sounds in a list of words. The lesson also revisits suffixes like 'O', 'ANT', and 'ENT', explaining their roles in forming nouns and adjectives. The session concludes with an introduction to the Latin root 'Ven', which means 'come', and its application in various words.
