Wilson 2.1 - Glued Sounds

This week our class started step 2.1 in the Wilson Reading System.  In this step the class is introduced to welded or "glued" sounds.  all glued sounds are presented on green cards.  This is a way of differentiating sounds and concepts with color. The set up of the board is very important; the top rows end with bonus letters (f,l &s) digraphs are under the consonants and they are yellow because they only make one sound. the suffix "s" is a different shade of yellow and it is on a larger card.  

Glued sounds are marked by simply boxing the letters.  We are scooping the words so that when we get into multisyllabic words students will already be used to scooping syllables.

This is our glued sound drill; I was going to edit out the part where I say "action" because I am told to, but I thought it was kind of funny, and it shows the personality of our class. (they are such hams!)
