There are two questions under the heading Word Study. One question relates to phonics and the other word study. If your students are unfamiliar with any of these skills, they should be taught as mini-lessons to ensure successful completion of the reading activities. The following skills will be explored:
Phonics: blends, digraphs, double consonants, letter "y" as vowel, vowel "o" , silent letters
In the Thinking About the Story section, the students are asked to relate what happened in the story to their own personal experiences or to evaluate some action or character in the story.
