Word end-ings

Today we were reading the first 9 pages of Trouble at the Bridge
and I realized what a hard time he was having with common endings and letter groups in the middle of words. Since I taught him phonics and not sight words, it is a bit more difficult for him to understand the whole concept of two letters going together to make one sound. We made flash cards with a few endings and letter groups. Right now, he is thinking of ways to use them in words he already knows, and writing those words 3 or 4 times each.

I am in the process of locating a good history idea to teach him something about history. I will more than likely begin in New Jersey and expand his horizon from there. That way, he gets history and geography at the same time.
