2. How many consonants are in the word?
3. How many syllables does the word have? Can you break it down by syllables?
4. Is there a schwa syllable in the word? If so, where?
5. What is a schwa?
6. What does the word “harvest” mean? Can you explain it in your own words?
7. Can you create a sentence using the word “harvest”?

Extra Challenge: Write a paragraph or short poem about what “harvest” means during the fall season. You can also include a drawing or visual representation to go along with your response!

Parents, feel free to help your child write their answers or get creative with drawings. Take a photo of their work and email it to us at admin@literacyimagined.com. Be sure to include your child’s first name!

We can’t wait to see your thoughtful responses, and we’ll feature some of the best in next month’s newsletter! 🍁
