Spelling Help

Your spelling words this week have a soft "c" sound (and can begin with either a c or s). Here's a way to help you study your words... Words that begin with a soft "c" (either s or c) are generally followed by "i", "e," and "y" (as in circus, celery, and cycle). Hard "c" beginnings are usually followed by consonants (as in clue and crayon) and the vowels "a," "o," and "u" (as in cat, cot, and cut).  Look at our spelling words for the week (go to the spelling tab), is the second letter in each word an "i", "e" or "y"? Now all you have to know is whether the words begin with an "s" or "c."
