What to notice when spelling these words
Build the short-vowel words from sounds
The words big, yes, let, and got use familiar short vowels. Say each word slowly, listen from beginning to end, and match each sound to a letter. Yes begins with y; let ends with t; and the other sounds are just as useful for building the spellings.
Letter teams appear in different places
In with, the final sound is spelled th, with two letters working together. The word look has oo in the middle, and play has ay at the end. These pairs do different jobs, so notice where each one belongs instead of treating every two-letter pair the same way.
The words come, two, and old have spelling details that are easy to miss when a child writes only the sounds heard most clearly. Their individual notes identify the letters to keep.
Notes for particular words
look
The middle sound in look is spelled with two o letters. Listen for l at the beginning and k at the end, then write l-o-o-k.
two
The number word two begins with a silent w. Write all three letters: t-w-o.
In a sentence: I have two shoes.
play
The word play begins with the two consonant sounds p and l. Its long a sound is spelled ay at the end: p-l-a-y.
old
The word old begins with o saying its name. Listen through the ending so both l and d are included: o-l-d.
