Discussion
Knowing precisely what words mean matters when you're describing how likely something is to happen.
- What is the difference between something that is 'impossible,' 'possible,' and 'likely'? Give an example of each.
- Name one spelling pattern (like 'oa,' 'ch,' or 'str') the team used to sort the confetti letters. What sound does that pattern make?
- The Pranksters mixed up the letters to cause chaos. Why do spelling patterns matter so much in reading and writing?
