In Unit 2, students will be reviewing the bonus letter rule.
Rule: At the end of a one-syllable word, if the word has one vowel, followed immediately by an f, l, or s at the end, double that consonant. (The extra f, l, or s is considered a bonus letter because it is extra and does not make a sound)
Rule: At the end of a one-syllable word, if the word has one vowel, followed immediately by an f, l, or s at the end, double that consonant. (The extra f, l, or s is considered a bonus letter because it is extra and does not make a sound)
For example: glass mall off
When marking up a word with a bonus letter, a star is placed on top of the bonus letter.
