In this lesson, students will learn how to figure out a tricky word by trying out both sounds of the vowel and listening to see which word sounds right or makes sense. This lesson is part of the 'Unit of Study: Monitoring for Meaning: Using Multiple Strategies to Decode' and is found on page 38.

Students engage in games and chants to recognize the same sounds in different words. Students match objects with the same beginning or ending sound, identify whether a given sound occurs at the beginning or ending of a word, and connect phonemes with graphemes.

This resource supports students' ability to identify letters and letter sounds. Visuals are provided as guidance as well.

Students can practice their reading skills as they read stories with high-frequency words; interact with the computer to create new text; understand that changing one word in a sentence can change the meaning of the entire sentence; recognize consonant sound-spellings; distinguish easily confused letter pairs; and recognize common short and long vowel sounds as they participate in this interactive reading of Clifford's beloved stories.

Students will have to listen carefully so they can match words that have the same middle vowel sound, like "stove" and "rose."

After the lesson of explaining the reading and spelling for oi/oy, give some example words, cold call on students to read sentences that have oi/oy words in them, and ask students to come up with some oi/oy words to add to the list.

Students cut apart provided words. Teacher guides students to group similar words together. If necessary, teacher prompts with "Notice how the words look" and/or "Notice how the words sound."

For an extension, students could also create subgroups by sorting according to where the letter combination is found in the word-at the beginning, middle, or end.

It is suggested that an anchor word for each combination be added to a resource such as a word wall or word study notebook for future reference.

For assessment, students could sort and glue into the groups, read the list of words from the sort, or spell the words from the sort.

This worksheet asks students to circle the number of syllables for each word.

As a way to support teachers with English Language Arts (ELA) instruction during the pandemic, the NCDPI ELA team created choice boards featuring standards-aligned ELA activities.The intended purpose of these choice boards is to provide a way for students to continue standards-based learning while schools are closed. Each activity can be adapted and modified to be completed with or without the use of digital tools. Many activities can also be repeated with different texts. These standards-based activities are meant to be a low-stress approach to reinforcing and enriching the skills learned during the 2019-2020 school year. The choice boards are to be used flexibly by teachers, parents, and students in order to meet the unique needs of each learner.Exploration activities are provided for a more self-directed or guided approach to independent learning for students. These activities and sites should be used as a way to explore concepts, topics, skills, and social and emotional competencies that interest the learner.
