Word Play: Fun with English Unit Study

 

Word Play Fun with English

 

English is full of beautiful and interesting nuances.  When I sat down with my 7-year-old at the end of first grade to see what she was interested in learning for 2nd grade, she asked to learn more about alphabets, letters, and English.  I looked around at different resources and discovered The Word Snoop.  It is a fun trip through many interesting features of English.  I’ve put together a study based on the book and added in a bunch of videos and activities that my daughter will like.  It should be fun!

Chapter 1:  How it all began…

Chapter 2:  Why is English so strange?

The Word Snoop

Chapter 3:  Dots and dashes, interrobangs and cat’s claws

Chapter 4:  Letters, letters, letters

Chapter 5:  Is that another Greek word?

Chapter 6:  Who likes playing games

Chapter 7:  Say that again!

Chapter 8:  Hmm, I wonder what you’re really saying

Chapter 9:  Is that a real person?

Chapter 10:  Back to the future
