Unit 3

Spelling Words
 
 
 
Unit 3 Fundations instruction focuses on digraphs. Digraphs are two consonants that create a unique sound in words (ex: /th/ in “math”, /sh/ in “shop”). Students will be completing activities centered on both phoneme segmentation and blending with these new sounds. 
 
 
Below is a pool of words that students could be tested on during Unit 3 of Fundations: 

bath          with          moth          thin          that          path          dash          

ship          chin          back          lock          math          deck          neck          

dish          chop          shock          shed          lick          such          much          

rich          whip          when          luck          duck          sick          puck           

  
 
The following are the trick words (sight words) that we will be learning about during Unit 3 of Fundations. Trick words are words that frequently occur in text and do not follow traditional spelling patterns. The Trick Words for Unit 3 are: to, a, was, is, he, for, as, his, has.
