We are about to start our opinion writing and I wanted to make sure everyone in the class can spell the word "because" since we will be using it often.
"Because" is not what I consider a sight word since it can be spelled phonetically. It is one of our syllable patterns: VCV pattern. I put the word on the board and we coded the word and sounded it out.
We then learned a song to help us remember how to spell it.
We put the word in big letters on our wall.
We've been practicing writing it during reading groups.
ALL my students can now spell "because" and it makes this teacher heart happy.
Happy Teaching friends!
