Next week start a two week unit involving the schwa sound.
Unit 5~Two Week Unit
Sound Alike Words- weather, whether, father, farther
Trick Words- brother, mother, carry, city, December, family, place, Saturday
Skill- Schwa sound
Schwa Sound- This is when a vowel has an unexpected sound. When the vowel sound is in an unaccented syllable, it does not sound like it should. Sometimes it sounds like the short
“u” or short “i”.
•Note that multisyllabic words that end in “et”, the “e” will sound like a short ‘i”.
EX: pocket, wagon, salad, jacket, travel, cricket
