Literacy: Informational Reading and Writing and Multisyllabic Words

We have moved into a new unit in Literacy with a focus on Writing to show our research: building expertise about bird's bodies. Students will study a specific bird to learn about how the key parts help it survive in its habitat. Within expert groups, students use the National Geographic kids text: First Big Book of Birds for Little Kids to answer the unit guiding question: How do specific birds use their body parts to survive.

Unit 12 shifts our word study focus from sounds to syllables. Students are being taught to read and spell two-syllable words with closed syllables (napkin, public) , including compound words (catnap, backpack). Heart words for this unit include: people, month, little, been, own, want, Mr. Mrs.
