Based on common Grade 3 curricula, “Weekly Practice List 7” generally focuses on one of two areas: silent letters or the ”/oi/” sound (oi/oy). Here are the details for the most common curriculum sets: 1. 180 Days of Spelling and Word Study (Unit 7)
This list focuses on silent letters and complex letter combinations: GN (Silent G): assign, design, resign, sign
ST (Silent T): bristle, bustle, castle, hustle, nestle, rustle, whistle, wrestle MB (Silent B): climb KN (Silent K): knuckle WR (Silent W): wriggle
Vocabulary/Roots: Focuses on the Latin root sign (markings/symbols). 2. Super Teacher Worksheets (Unit C-7) This list focuses on the /oi/ sound (oi and oy):
Words: toys, point, voyage, broil, destroy, join, avoid, loyal, annoy, soil, coins, joyful, boy, noise, voice.
Activities: Often includes word sorting, “Fix the Mistakes,” crossword puzzles, and unscrambling activities. 3. K12reader (Week 7)
This list focuses on gh/ph words and high-frequency academic vocabulary:
Words: along, bought, close, something, seem, laughed, lady, enough, graph, paragraph, photograph, history, village, future, hometown, settlers. Tips for Practice
Silent Letters: Encourage students to “say” the silent letter in their head while writing (e.g., k-nuckle) to remember it.
”/oi/” Sound: Practice sorting words by whether they use “oi” (usually middle of word) or “oy” (usually end of word).
I can provide spelling tests, word searches, or crossword puzzles for this list if that would be helpful.
