Today we will be learning how to blend the sounds of letters to say words. Blending the sounds of letters to say words is a very important part of learning how to read unfamiliar words. Blending words to read is one the important things you will learn in kindergarten and first grade to help you learn about many other things in school and in life. Modeling. I will model for you how to blend the sounds of letters in words. Here is a word, fan. I want to blend the sounds of the letters to say the word. To blend the letter sounds in this word I begin with the first letter in the word – f (point to the letter). I think to myself, this is the letter f and I know that the sound that this letter makes is /f/. So, I say /f/. I look at the second letter in the word – a (point to the letter). letter in the word a (point to the letter) I need to learn a hint about three I need to learn a hint about three letter words with a vowel letter in the middle, the hint is this ‐ the middle vowel letter in a three letter word makes its sound. So, I think to myself, this is the letter a it makes the /a/ sound. So, I say /a/. Then I say the first sound in the word, /f/ and then the second sound in the word, /a/. Next I look at h d /f/ d h h d d h d / / l k the third letter in the word – n (point to the letter). I think to myself, this is the letter n and I know that the sound that this letter makes is /n/. Then I say the first sound in the word, /f/ and then the second sound in the word, /a/, the first sound in the word, /f/ and then the second sound in the word, /a/, and the third sound in the word, /n/. Then I say the three sounds in order again a little faster like this, /f/ /a/ /n/. I say them again even faster…. I listen as I say them faster and begin to blend the sounds together to hear a word…. th the word I hear when I say the sounds in order fast is /fan/. dIh h I th d i d f t i /f / Explanation. Today we will be learning how to blend the sounds of letters to say words. Blending the sounds of letters to say words is a very important part of learning how to read unfamiliar words. Blending words to read is one the important things you will learn in kindergarten and first grade to help you learn about many other things in school and in life. Modeling. I will model for you how to blend the parts of words to say big words. Here is a word, confirm. I want to blend the parts of the word to say a big word. To blend the parts of this word I look for the vowels (Model underlining the vowels in the word). Once I have found the vowels in the word, break the word into parts around the vowels. Never divide double vowels e g oi ai oa ee or consonant digraphs e g ph ch wh th sh We vowels, e.g. oi, ai, oa, ee or consonant digraphs, e.g. ph, ch, wh, th, sh. We can divide between double consonants that are not consonant digraphs. In the word confirm there are two vowels In the word confirm there are two vowels – o and i. So, if I divide this word o and i. So, if I divide this word around the vowels o and i and between two consonants that are not a consonant digraph, I could divide the word confirm as con/firn. To say this big word, I say the sound for each letter in the first word part, c/o/n. Next I bl d th th blend the three sounds to say the word part – d t th d t con. Next I say each letter N tI h l tt sound in the second word part – f/ir/m. Then I blend the three sounds to say the word part, firm. Last, I say the two word parts con and firm. When I p g y , blend these two word parts together I say the word, confirm. Explanation. Today we will be learning how to segment words into sounds to spell words. Segmenting the sounds in spoken words to write words is a very important part of learning how to spell unfamiliar words. Segmenting spoken words to spell is one the important things you will learn in kindergarten and first grade to help you be able to write about many other things you will learn in school and in life. Modeling. I will model for you how to segment the sounds in spoken words to spell words. Listen to the word as I say it ‐ sit. (Say the word, sit). I want to segment the sounds in this word to spell the word. To segment the sounds in this word, I stretch the word out or say it very slowly like this – sssssssss‐ iiiiiiii‐t. Next, I count how many sounds I hear and make a blank on my paper for each sound I hear in the word – sit. (Write three blanks on the board _ _ for each sound I hear in the word sit (Write three blanks on the board _). I stretch the word to hear the first sound – ssssss and I think to myself, this is the sound that goes with the letter s. So, I write an s in the first blank s_ _. Next, I listen to the second sound in the word – sit. I stretch the word again – ssssss‐iiiii. I stretch the word to hear the second sound – h h d h h d d iiiii and I d think to myself, this is the sound that goes with the letter i. So, I write an i in the second blank s i _. Finally, I listen to the third sound in the word – sit. I stretch the word again – ssssss stretch the word again ssssss‐iiiii‐t. iiiii t. I stretch the word to hear the third I stretch the word to hear the third sound – /t/ and I think to myself, this is the sound that goes with the letter t. So, I write a t in the third blank s i t. This is how I segment sounds in words to write words I don’t know how to spell Explanation. Today we will be learning how to segment words into sounds to spell words. Segmenting words to write big words is a very important part of learning how to write. Writing and spelling are important things you will learn in school to help you write about the things that you will learn in school and life. Modeling I will model for you how to segment a word to spell big words Here is Modeling. I will model for you how to segment a word to spell big words. Here is a word, macaroni. I want to segment the word to spell this big word. To segment the parts of this word, I stretch the word into prounouceable units or syllables – mac a ro ni. I hear four syllables or pronunciation units. The first syllable or pronunciation unit I hear is mac. I stretch this syllable out slowly, mmmmaaaa/k/. I hear three sounds so I write three blanks for the first syllable. Next I listen for the first sound, mmm. I think about this sounds and write the letter that I know represents this sound – m. Next, I listen for the second sound letter that I know represents this sound m Next I listen for the second sound in the syllable – mac. I hear the second sound – aaaaa. I write the second sound’s letter – a. I listen to the third sound in the syllable – mac. I hear write the letter – k. In the second syllable I hear the sound of /uh/ and write the letter a. In the third syllable I hear two sounds – I th thi d ll bl I h t d rrrrrooooo. I write down two more I it d t blanks and write the letter I hear with the first sound in this syllable – r. Then I listen for the second sound and write the letter for the sound I hear – o. Finally, I y nnnnniiiii. I write two blanks after stretch the last syllable of the word – stretching the sounds in this syllable. The first sound is nnnn, so I write the letter n. The final sound is /e/ so I write the letter e. Now I have the spelling of makarone. I look at this spelling to see if it looks like the word as I have seen it. If not I check it using a dictionary or spell check (Model this process of checking not, I check it using a dictionary or spell check. (Model this process of checking in a dictionary or spell check).

Explanation: Lesson Plan Lesson Plan What: What: Today boys and girls, we are going to be learning about how to read expressively. Important parts of reading expressively are pausing, stopping, and expressively. Important parts of reading expressively are pausing, stopping, and raising or lowering our pitch as we read. Pitch is how high or low the sounds ii l i it h d Pit h i h hi h l th d are that we make with our voices (demonstrate high and low pitch). Marks on the page called punctuation marks (point to) help us to know when we need to pause, stop, raise or lower our pitch. Why: Why: We need to read expressively so that we can show that we understand what we are reading. Punctuation tells us what we need to know about how to express the words, phrases, and sentences with the right pauses, stops, and pitch. pitch When/Where: When/Where: Whenever we read, we should pay attention to the punctuation so that we know where to pause, stop, and raise or lower our pitch. p p p Modeling: Example To begin, I am going to read this page with good expression paying To begin, I am going to read this page with good expression paying attention to what the punctuation tells me to do, such as pause, stop and attention to what the punctuation tells me to do, such as pause, tt ti t h t th t ti t ll t d h stop and or t d or raise or lower my pitch. Please look at the page on the overhead. Notice that I have colored each punctuation mark with a different color to help you see them more clearly. Follow what I read with your eyes.

Why: We need to know how stories are structured to help us recognize the sequence or order in which important information is presented. Knowing the sequence and the i important information helps us to remember what we read better. t ti f ti h l t b h t d b tt When/Where: Whenever we read stories, we should pay attention to the structure of the story and think about whether or not we can tell about all of the parts of a story when we are fi i h d finished reading. di Explicit Story Structure Lesson Explicit Story Structure Lesson Modeling: Modeling: Example First I am going to make a story map to help me remember the important parts of story structure.
