Unit
4 Day 4
Student Objectives
• Spell and write short e CVC words to
complete alliterative sentences.
Teaching Tips
• To introduce alliteration, repeat a familiar
tongue twister like Rubber baby buggy
bumpers. Have students identify the sound
that is repeated. Explain that poets often
use repeated sound in their poems.
• Have students complete the page
independently or as a class. Have students
read the sentences as fast as they can and
then identify the sound that is repeated
in each.
• Guide students’ attention to item 5. Ask,
What kind of letter do we write at the
beginning of every sentence? (a capital or an
uppercase letter) How should we write the
word that starts this sentence? (start with a
capital capital or uppercase Y)
