Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Onomatopoeic words are words that sound like the noises they refer to.
- •
Words beginning with 'WH' often suggest the movement of air, while 'CL' can suggest something sharp or metallic.
- •
If the vowel sound in the middle of an onomatopoeic word is short, it usually represents a shorter, sharper sound; a long vowel sound usually signifies a longer, deeper sound.
