Tapping to spell – say word, tap out the sounds, tap out the letters  \nSentence dictation-capital at the beginning of a sentence, periods at the end; tap words before spelling and then again to check spelling (proofread)  \nPractice Ideas  \n Practice tapping 3 letter words  \n Practice spelling by tapping out words first then writing  \n Practice sentence dictation  \nUnit 3  \nDigraph – contains two consonants and only makes one sound: wh, sh, ch, th, ck  \n Wh is only found in the beginning of words  \n Ck is only found at the end of words  \n Tapping – use one finger to tap the one sound that a diagraph makes  \n Mark up diagraphs by underlining the two letters that make the diagraph  \nPractice Ideas  \n Underline digraphs in sentences or paragraphs  \n Sort words – digraphs vs. words without digraph  \n Find words with ck at the end  \n Find words with wh at the beginning  \nUnit 4  \nBonus Letter Rule – At the end ofa one-syllable word, if the word has one vowel, followed immediately by anf, l, or s at the end, double that consonant.

It is not doubled ifit is part of a blend, as in the word shelf) .  \n Mark up a bonus letter word by putting a star above the bonus letter  \n Sometimes z wants to be bonus letter (fuzz, buzz, fizz, razz, jazz) but it does not always get doubled (quiz, whiz, Liz).Therefore it is not considered a bonus letter, just keep it in the back of our minds that sometimes it gets doubled.  \n“Glued” Sounds – letters that keep their individual sound but are glued together.  \n “Glued” sound “all” – the bonus ll changes the short /a/ to /ol/  \n To tap these out, use two or three fingers “glued” to represent the number of sounds working together.  \nPractice Ideas  \n Sort words – bonus letters vs. words without bonus letters  \n Find words with the “glued” sound all  \n Mark up words with bonus letters and “glued” sounds  \nUnit 5  \n“Glued” Sounds – am and an  \n M and n are nasal sounds because the sound comes out of the nose  \n Try to say the letter sounds for m and n while holding your nose  \n Since m and n are nasal sounds they change the sound of a  \n Tap am and an by gluing two fingers together in one tap to represent the two sounds  \n Mark the “glued” sounds by boxing the letter together  \nPractice Ideas  \n Find words with the “glued” sounds am, an, and all  \n Sort words – words with “glued” sounds and words without “glued” sounds  \n Mark up words with “glued” sounds  \nUnit 6  \nBaseword – a baseword is a word that can stand alone as a word or have something added to it.  \nSuffix – A suffix is an ending that can be added to a baseword.  \nAdding the suffix –s The suffix –s can be added to basewords. This unit has words that are plural nouns and singular verbs. (ex. Hits, pens) .  \n When tapping out a word with a suffix, students only tap out the baseword. The suffix is NOT tapped.
