The children have had two series or families in past lessons. In the new
lesson ask them to look for words that belong to these families. They
will find _run_ in the _un_ family, and _me_, _the_, _tree_, in the _e_
(_ee_) family. These words should be distinctly pronounced and spelled
orally.
The remaining word is _to_. It belongs to no family that the children
have studied. Have the children pronounce it, use it in a number of
simple sentences, and spell it.
Give each child a small piece of paper. Tell the children to look at
_to_ and spell it silently. Then without looking at the book have them
write the word on paper. Each word in the lesson may be studied and
written in the same way.
