Introduce the Vowels out walking: Mr. E and Mr. A • (If your children have used Letterland at the previous level, they may be able to help you tell the Letterland story logic that explain the sounds of these pairs of vowels. At this level, they will be learning more challenging words containing these patterns.) • Display the ea PCC. Read about Mr. E and Mr. A out walking in Beyond ABC and/or Story Phonics software. Have children listen for words with the /ē/ sound and look for items in the picture with the sound. Turn the PCC to the plain side and push forward several times as children say “/ē/ /ē/…”. • Make the words beach and then east for children to finger tap. Vowel Team Syllable Type • Write beach and east on the board. The words we are learning about this week all have a new type of syllable in them. Let’s dot our vowels and see what we can learn about this syllable type. Make a dot under each vowel in beach. Hmmm, there are two vowels side by side and then some consonants. How many vowels are in an Open Syllable? “One.” And where is that vowel in an Open Syllable? “At the end.” Point to the word beach. So, is beach an Open Syllable? “No?” • Let’s see if it could be a Closed Syllable. How many vowels in a Closed Syllable? “One.” So, it is not a Closed Syllable, is it? It is a new kind of syllable with two vowels right together, and the two vowels just make one sound. Mr. E and Mr. A are walking together but only Mr. E is saying his name. And what is Mr. A doing? “Looking out for robots.” Yes, so they are working together like a team, helping each other and we only hear one sound. So this is called a ‘Vowel Team Syllable’. Let’s say that three times. “Vowel Team Syllable…” • Draw a rail car under beach. So a Vowel Team has two vowels working as a team to make one sound, in this case Mr. E’s name. So underneath these syllables we’ll put a ‘v’ for Vowel Team. And in the Vowel Team Syllables we are learning this week, the first vowel says its name and his teammate is silent. Make a straight line over the e in reach and a slash through the a. Have children finger tap the word. • Have children tell you the steps to Quick Code the word east, beginning with dotting the vowels and ending with finger tapping the word. More Vowels out walking: Mr. E and Mr. E • Read about Mr. E and his brother Mr. E in Beyond ABC and/or Story Phonics software. Explore the picture with the children to find words where they can hear Mr. E’s name. • Display the ee PCC. So, here is another pair of Vowel Men who like to go out walking. Who are they? “Mr. E and Mr. E.” Who is doing the talking? “The first Mr. E.” Who is looking out for Robots? “The second Mr. E.” Turn to the plain letter side. So what do these two letters say? Push it forward several times as children repeat: “/ē/ /ē/…” • Build the words feel and street with plain letter sides and follow the ‘Steps for Reading Words with PCCs’ on your Daily Lesson Guide Cards (TGCD). • Display the picture side of the ve PCC. Share the information on the back of the PCC about the Vase Prop e. Build the words leave and sleeve. As you follow the steps explain that they can tell these are Vowel Team Syllables because they have two vowels together and that the ‘e’ on the end is not a Magic e but is just there to keep Vickie’s Vase of Violets from tipping over at the end of a word. • Display the Burnt Out Magic APCC e (e/–/). Share the information on the plain letter side. This Burnt Out Magic e is at the end of several of our words this week. When we see the two vowels together in the middle of the word we will know the e on the end is not a Magic e but a Burnt Out Magic e.
