The children have been learning how to use "finger spelling" to spell new words. They say the word slowly and raise a finger for each sound (e.g. j-u-m-p). Some words are tricky though and are not spelled as they sound. We call these words STINKERS! We practice these common words through songs and games.
Today we played a new spelling game called "Word Bump". We practiced spelling some tricky, but common, words using this game. By the end of grade one, students are expected to spell approximately 75 common words, such as: they, are, come, go, on, is, here, are, went, all and so on.
