These pages help us listen to the sounds we hear and write the letter that makes those sounds. This is an important step in both reading and spelling.
As part of our word work, I'll say a sound, and students will write the letter that makes the sound. Then I'll say a word. Students work on listening to all of sounds of the word and write each sound they hear. For example, I might say bat. Students will listen for the /b/, the /a/, and the /t/ and write b a t.
Sometimes we might circle words or cross out words. This is just a way for us to read what we've written. For example, I might say, circle the word that rhymes with cat or cross out the word that is animal that flies. This makes the students look at each of the words and determine which one to circle or cross out.
Towards the bottom of the page, you might notice that we practice writing certain letters or particular sight words. This is just more practice for us. We're working on becoming very familiar with letters and sight words.
