Our Concept Story: This lesson focuses on two of the Best Spellings for Long A. The spelling ai is best before l or n. The spelling ay is best for /?/ at the end of words. We explain that the spelling ay has a tail. 

Here is the list of words your child should practice reading and spelling all week for the dictation test that will be given on Friday:
