Spelling

It’s time to take a look at our spelling words for this week. Let’s review them together.
Our first few words follow the CVVC pattern. CVVC stands for consonant, vowel, vowel, consonant. Can you think of any words that have the CVVC pattern?
Meet has the CVVC pattern.
Do you see the pattern?
Consonant, vowel, vowel, consonant

When you see a word with this pattern, you will hear the first vowel. In “meet” we hear the long e.

Do you hear the long e? We don’t hear a long a because that comes after the e.
