Discussion

In this WordWorld segment the WordFriends solve their problem by building a word out of its letters and sounding it out.

  1. What word did the WordFriends build? What letters does it need?
  2. What sound does each letter make? Can you blend them together?
  3. Where in our classroom can you find that word or its first letter?

Quick work-a-long

Vocabulary: letter, sound, blend, build a word.

Try it: Say the word from the story slowly, listen for each sound, then write the letters in order to build it yourself.
