Alexander Graham Bell
Dear Families,
This week students will read a biography about Alexander Graham Bell, inventor and scientist.
Students will read words with vowel teams au and aw, and the short sound of the vowel team ea. Students will spell words with the vowel team aw as in law.
In grammar, students will continue to learn about pronouns. Students will read their current story for two weeks.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Donaghy

Skill: The vowel sound /au/ can be spelled with au and aw. The vowel team au is most often used in the beginning or middle of a word. The letters aw are usually used at the end of the word, or followed by k, l, or n.
Skill: The vowel team ea can stand for the short e sound as in bread. When reading a word with ea, first try the long e sound, then the short e sound. The context of the sentence will also help a reader with the sound of the word.
