( Dear Family:

Units 10 through 16 all work with the new vowel digraph syllable type, or "D"

syllable type. In Unit 11 we will focus on the long e sound. The three sounds

previously introduced will be our focus:

ee -jeep -Jel ee - est -Jel

The ea vowel combination also has the sounds/etas in bread, and /i/ as in

steak, but these are less common and will not be studied at this time.

Just as before, the reading is much easier than the spelling. Therefore, the

spelling option procedure will need to be practiced. In this Unit I will introduce

the various spellings of lei such as ee in jeep, ea in eat, and ey in key. Your

child already knows that e has the long sound in the vowel-consonant-e syllable

(as in Pete) and in the open syllable (as in me and baby). In the beglnn1ng or

middle of a syllable, the most common spelling choices are ee, ea or e-e (e­

consonant-e). At the end of a word, the most common spelling options are y or

ey.

Perhaps a trip to the library will encourage your child to read. Some science

books that may be of interest are:

Our Solar System by Seymour Simon (Morrow Junior Books, 1992)

Electricity by Steve Parker (DorlingKindersley, 1992)

Pyramid by James Putnam (DorlingKindersley, 1994)

Also, a game such as Boggle Junior will promote spelling and word

recognition. It will take several exposures to words before your child is secure ---.... with both the reading and spelling. Thank you for your help at home.

Sincerely,
