Word Work

After writing (every day except Fridays) Room 3 does 'word work' .  We sit in a circle with our word cards, white boards, pens and dusters.  We brainstorm words that start with/ have at the end of them, a sound of the day.  We then clap the number of syllables in these words.  We practise writing some of the 'high frequency' words (words that we commonly use like: the, me, my, like, etc) We also practice writing words that rhyme and we identify the pattern that creates this rhyme.
