Sight Words
Lesson 3, Page 8
The children have had two series or families in past lessons. In the new lesson ask them to look for words that belong to these families. They will find run in the un family, and me, the, tree, in the e (ee) family. These words should be distinctly pronounced and spelled orally.
The remaining word is to. It belongs to no family that the children have studied. Have the children pronounce it, use it in a number of simple sentences, and spell it.
Give each child a small piece of paper. Tell the children to look at to and spell it silently. Then without looking at the book have them write the word on paper. Each word in the lesson may be studied and written in the same way.
Writing Sentences
No new spelling words occur in this lesson. It is a review, an application of some of the words learned.
The first lesson, and perhaps a few others of the same kind, should be taught from the board, although it is better that each child should have a book before him.
