Unit 4 Workbook This Workbook contains worksheets that accompany many of the lessons from the Teacher Guide for Unit 4. Some of the worksheets in this book do not include written instructions for the student because the instructions would have contained nondecodable words. The expectation is that teachers will explain these worksheets to the students orally, using the guidelines in the Teacher Guide. The Workbook is a student component, which means that each student should have a Workbook. Name Unit 4 1 © 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation 1.1 Dear Family Member, We will start a new unit this week. The Reader for this unit is The Job Hunt. In this book, Kim, a college student, hunts for a job. Her younger brother, Kurt, follows along as she goes from place to place in her search. Kim and Kurt will visit many places in New York City as they ride the subway and walk to each location. Please continue to try to find time to read with your child daily. We encourage you to take advantage of the public library so your child can select books of interest. The librarian should be able to direct you to books appropriate for most second graders. It is fine for your child to occasionally choose books that may be too hard for her/him to read independently. For example, if your child is interested in horses, she may select a book with many interesting photographs of horses, but it may be too difficult to read alone. Encourage your child to talk to you about the illustrations and to try to read whatever he or she can, while you assist with more difficult words. The following are the spelling words for this week. We have already learned how to read words with these sounds in other lessons earlier this year. For example, your child has learned the /aw/ sound may be spelled either ‘aw’ or ‘au’, the /oi/ sound may be spelled either as ‘oi’ or ‘oy’, and the /oo/ sound, as in moon, can be spelled several different ways. Remember when you practice with your child during the week, call out the words in random order to make sure he/she has really learned each word. hawk vault oil cowboy moon yawn haunted spoiled enjoy spool crawl causes coin destroy cartoon 2 Unit 4 © 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation Name Unit 4 3 © 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation 1.2 Yes or No? 1.
