How the lesson starts: Grade 3 Bridge: Grade 3 Irregular Words

Rosa's Heart Word Hunt
Meet Rosa the raccoon. Rosa hunts for heart words. Most of a heart word sounds out the usual way. But one part is tricky. You learn that part by heart!
Find the tricky part
Look at friend. The F R sounds just right. The N D sounds right too. But the I E says short E, like in bed. That is the tricky part. Put a heart on it!
