Word Study

In word study we write on white boards.  We learn rules about words.  For example, whenever f, l, s, or z are at the end of a word, they are doubled.  We call this a bonus letter.  We also learn about vowels.  When two vowels are together, we usually only hear the sound of the first one.  We also write trick words.  Trick words are words that do not follow the rules.  We can memorize them easily.
