Words With Inconsistent But Common Spelling-Sound Correspondences
- These words can be very difficult for young children. They look the same as other words with the same spelling pattern, but don't have the same sound. For example: have/gave/save & does/toes/goes.
- Use these fun task cards to give students practice identifying the oddball words. Students will read the three words and identify the word with the inconsistent spelling-sound correspondence.
