This week (and for the next few weeks) we'll be working on rhyming words from different word families. This has been an area of difficulty for the class. The students often assume that words only rhyme if they have the exact same letters at the end, which is causing some problems for them. For example, they'll put 'slow' and 'now' as rhyming words. Hopefully these spelling lists will help reinforce that it's the sound, and not the letters, that determine rhyme.

There are only three school days next week, so we'll put the quiz off until February 24. 

Good luck!
