Chanel and Isabella have created a movie to show how to think carefully about words that have the same letter patterns. Do they always sound the same?  It helps to say the words out loud and think of their meanings. Goggles and Brainiac would like to ‘bump up’ their word work. Can you think of some more words that contain the same letter patterns but make different sounds? Then they can make a new movie!

This movie uses a worksheet from the book ‘A Sound Way’.

Chanel and Isabella created this movie to demonstrate compound words. It helps to think about them in your head: as you hear them and as you read them. It also helps to use the strategy of ‘look for a part within the word’ to help you read it. Do you know any compound words?
