$0.00
Description
When a student asked about the spelling of purchase, specifically why the <a> isn’t an <i>, we had to dig a little deeper.
It turns out we were chasing an unstressed syllable. Read more about it at How to Find an Unstressed Syllable.
This resource teaches you how to help your students use Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) to find this word’s Word Family. SWI is a research-proven method to help all students but especially dyslexic students make sense of spelling for improved reading and spelling.
It gives your students an opportunity to
- work with this word family and practice spelling all its members
- recognize some familiar morphemes (word parts) and use word sums
- work with the Replacing E Suffixing Convention
- recognize that two words from the same word family can be pronounced differently
- write sentences using the word family
- LEARN HOW TO FIND THE STRESSED SYLLABLE IN A TWO-SYLLABLE WORD
Happy Spelling!
