[quote=Anonymous]Some of those words have a pattern - it looks like they are words with the vowel making the long sound because of the e at the end. Don’t have him memorize those words! They are regular! He should be sounding them out and using his spelling strategies. They may also be teaching some other long vowel patters (ee in green). So talk about long vowels and the way they sound and what makes the vowel say the long sound. They is pretty much a learned word (ie memorization). But you don’t just say “memorize it!” The th is regular and predictable. Then teach that the long a at the end is spelled ey. Have him write out the word at least three times, naming each letter as he does. I don’t know that I think these should be 1st grade spelling test words, but it is what it is.[/quote]
