Daily Learning Target:
- Opening A: I can identify the vowel sounds in spoken words.
- I can listen to several one-syllable words and identify the short or long vowel sound they contain.
- Work Time A: I can examine the spelling of vowel sounds in a printed word and determine the syllable type (closed, open, or magic “e”).
- I can explain that single-vowel letters in one-syllable words usually have short vowel sounds.
- I can explain that in CVCe (consonant, vowel, consonant, silent “e”), one-syllable words ending in final “e,” the V (vowel) letter usually has a long vowel sound.
- I can decode a word with a vowel in the middle and a silent “e”at the end.
- I can identify the five or six types of syllables in written words.
- Work Time B: I can examine the spelling of vowel sounds in a printed syllable, determine the syllable type, and use that information to combine it with another syllable to make and read a word (real or nonsense).
- I can decode a two-syllable word that contains the CVCe vowel pattern.
- I can decode (read) two-syllable words by thinking about the syllable type.
In Advance
- Prepare:
- Enlarged Sound Sort T-chart (on white board or chart paper, “Short” on one side and “Long” on the other).
- Articulatory Gestures Chart for short vowel sounds (from Grade 1;one for display; optional)
- Cut apart and fold the single-syllable Closed, Open, and Magic “e” Single-Syllable Word Cards so that the picture shows on one side and the word on the other (to display in Work Time A).
- Cut apart Build a Word Cards for Work Time B.
- Gather materials for independent work time (see Differentiated Small Groups).
Vocabulary
- Lesson- specific: identify, responsibility, syllable, vowel
