Download Phonics Instruction II: Moving on to Long Vowels

Phonics and Spelling Instruction:
Moving on to Long Vowels, Vowel
Patterns, and Word Study
Agenda for Today
• Quick Review and Review Quiz
• Phonics I: Beginning Reading Word Study
Activities
• Phonics II: Word Sorts for Phonics Patterns in
Single Syllable Words
• Literacy Journal Activities:
– Understanding Passive Materials vs. Engaging
Materials
– Using 424 Language in Your Reflections (Stages of
Reading and Stages of Spelling)
Quick Review: Letter-Name Alphabetic
Spelling Stage (WTW, Ch. 5)
• Early LetterName Alphabetic
FT for float
BD for bed
• Middle LetterName Alphabetic
LOP for lump
SEP for ship
• Late LetterName Alphabetic
DRIV for drive
STEK for stick
Stages of Spelling Development
• What developmental level of spelling appears
BEFORE the letter-name alphabetic stage?
– EMERGENT
• What developmental levels of spelling appear
AFTER the letter-name alphabetic stage?
– WITHIN WORD
– SYLLABLES AND AFFIXES
– DERIVATIONAL
Spelling > Phonics > Reading??
• During which phase of reading are children…
– introduced to phonics skills and syllable patterns
– Demonstrate spelling patterns at the within-word
level
• BEGINNING READING
Review: Phonics Instruction
• Two key practices for Phonics Instruction
• SSYSTEMATIC
_______________ and EEXPLICIT
______________
What is the recommended system or sequence for
introducing phonics skills?
1.
1. Consonants (letter sound correspondence)
2.
2. Short Vowels (letter/sound) > CVC words
3.
3. Long Vowels
4.
4. Blends and Digraphs (two letter phonemes)
5.
5. Multisyllabic words (begin the sequence again)
Remembering last week…
• Explicit Phonics Instruction
– Consonants
•
•
•
•
Hear the consonant sound
Pair sound with letter and letter name
Hear (& discriminate) at beginning or end
See at beginning or end
– Short vowels
•
•
•
•
Hear the vowel sound
Pair sound with letter and letter name
Hear (& discriminate) in the middle or beginning
See at beginning or end (place in word pockets)
ĕ
ă
ĭ
oo
Ŏ
ŭ
ar
ir
ou/ow
oi /oy
ah
Long vowels
Silent e
(Appendix B)
Best way to introduce
long vowels
• Begin with a CVC word (that you know will follow the
pattern) cap > cape
• What happens when an “e” is put at the end of certain
CVC words??
• It makes the vowel long (say its name)…
–
–
–
–
hid > hide
tub > tube
can > cane
mop > mope
VIDEO
BRAINSTORM as many words as you can that follow this
rule.
Reviewing Quiz
• Stages of Spelling Development
– Within Word (word patterns in single syllable words)
– Syllables & Affixes (words patterns with 2+ syllables)
• Concepts About Print (Visual)
– Print carries a message; directionality; one-to-one
correspondence; concepts about sentences > concepts
about words > concepts about letters
• Stages of Phonological Awareness (Auditory)
– Hear Rhymes
– Hear Initial Letter > then hear rime
– Hear segmented phonemes in beginning, middle, and end
Reviewing Quiz
• Phonemic Awareness = understand and hear
individual sounds in language (phonemes)
• Phonics = understand relationship between
sounds and printed letters (e.g., alphabetic
principle) - “Break the code” = decoding
• Stages of Reading Development
– From Birth to Adulthood
– Different from Stages of Spelling Development
(although there are parallels)
Words Their Way
WTW: Organizing for Word Study
• How are word sorts different than other phonics
programs?
1. Hands-on manipulatives to learn by doing
2. Work from known to unknown to help spell
3. Analytic (whole > part) rather than synthetic (part >
whole)
4. Critical thinking about principles (compare/contrast)
rather than memorizing rules
5. Efficient (more words) and cost effective (reusable
cards vs. worksheets with fewer words
6. Easier to differentiate instruction and adapt (just
combine different word groups and cards)
Three Main Types of Word Sorts
1
Correct sequence
2
• Sound Sort > Visual Pattern Sort > Meaning Sort
Picture sort
(early stages)
Word sort
(see sound
vs. spelling)
Blind sort
sort by sound
without
visual cues
Use keyword
headings
(either picture
or visual
pattern)
Concept sort
(themed words or
vocabulary
Spelling/meaning
sort
(homophones;
homographs;
affix/suffix sorts)
Beginning Reading Word Activities
and Word Sorts
• Group Word Activities
– Changing Hen to A Fox
– Word Ladders (Tim Rasinski)
– Making Words (Patricia Cunningham)
– Blue/Shoe Group Word Sort
• Group 1: Early stages of word sorts with a
weekly Word Study schedule
• Group 2: Later concepts of word sorts aligned
to spelling stages
Reviewing Short Vowels in CVC word patterns
Change A Hen to A Fox
Find:
h, e, n, p, t, i, s, x, f, o
You try….with your letters
Directions

Write hen.
Change hen to pen.
Change your pen to pet.
Can you change your pet to pit?
Now change pit to sit.
Next change sit to six.
Then change six to fix.
Finally, change fix to fox.

Word Sorts
• Weekly Schedule in Grade 1
– Level 1
– Level 2
• Word Study Activities for Grades 1-3 (in small
groups)
– Activity 1, 2, and 3
– Sort & discover the pattern
– Identify purpose and spelling stage
Activity 1
Activity 2: Word Sort (Step 1)
• First, sort by SOUND of G.
Soft G
badge
Hard G
cage
lodge
page
stage
bag
twig
drug
flag
leg
slug
judge
edge
huge

Activity 2: Word Sort (Part 2)
• Now, sort by [visual] pattern. Work with a partner to
discover the different patterns & reflect (compare &
declare) - HINT (there are more than two groups)

g
dge
ge

leg
soft g at end has a silent e
when short vowel = dge
when long vowel = ge
twig
short vowel =
hard g and no “e”
Word Sort Activity 3
Phonics Instruction:
Explicit and Systematic
• Tompkins Chapter 5: Key Ideas to Focus On
– Phonics concepts: consonants, vowels, and
successive blending
– Common rimes (word families) – p. 159
– Useful phonics rules – p. 161 and activity handout
– Systematic sequence of phonics instruction – p. 163
– Mini-lesson sequence
(model>guided>independent)
– Stages of Spelling Development (like WTW text)
– High-frequency sight words (p. 175)
