Dear Fbmlly:

Unlts 1O throug! f6 allworkwith the newvowel dlgraph syllable type, or'D"

syllable type. In Unlt 11 we will focus on the lng e srrnd. The three sounds

prevlously lntroduced wll be oru focus:

a- lq-F/ e-d-f t | qy-Wy-lel

The ea vowel combtnaflon also has the sounds lU as ln bread, and /4/ as ln

steak, but these are less common and wtll not be shrdled at thls flme.

Just as before, the readlngls much ea,sler than the spelllng Therefore, the

spelling opton procedure wlll need to be pracflced. In thls Unlt I will lnhoduce

the varlous spelllngs of /e/ such as ee lnJcep, ea ln eat, and €y ln f,ey. Your

chlld already lsxows that e has the long sound in the vowel-consonant-e syllable(as ln Fetc) and ln the open syllable (as tn me and hUy). In the beglnnlng or

mfddle of a syll,able, the most common spelllng cholces are ee, ea or e-e (e-

consonant-e). Atthe end of aword, the mostcoulmon spenhgopflons are yor

ey.

Perhaps a trip to the ltbrarywill encourage your child to read. Some sclence

books that may be of interest are:

Olrr Sotor Sgstenr by Seynour Stnon (MorrowJunlor h)oks, f992)

Elerlfficl$ by Steve Parker (DorlingKindersley, 1992)

ppv.mU by James Rrtnam (Dodfng Klndersley, 1994)

Also, a game such a,s Boggle Junlor will promote spelling and word

recogpiflon. Itwill take several a(posures to words before your chtld ls secure

with both the readingiand spelllng Thank you for your help at home.
