(bright upbeat music) - Hi friends, welcome back to Teaching in Room 9.

Our regions are just classroom.

My name is Julia, I'm one of the second grade teachers at The Soulard School.

But here for Teaching in Room 9, my lesson's focus on phonemic awareness.

The sounds that letters make, exercises working with those sounds and being aware of the smallest units of sounds in letters and words.

Welcome back, I'm so excited that I get the chance to be here with you and I cannot wait for us to jump right in and do some reading here together.

All right learners, in order for us to warm up our brains, we're gonna start by reviewing everything that we've learned so far here together.

And we're gonna do that by practicing one of my very favorite exercises and it's called, mirrors-on.

So when I say, mirrors-on, you're going to follow along and do everything that I say and do until I say, mirrors-off.

We really love when we get the chance to see you following along at home.

So if you wanna take a video of you doing your best mirrors-on or singing along with us or a picture of you doing it along with us at home, you could always feel free to send them in to the Nine PBS station or post them online and #ninePBS.

All right friends, are you ready to go ahead and try?

Mirrors-on, parent awareness and parts of a book.

Oh, we know that letters have sounds.

Letters come together to make a word.

Letters are consonants or vowels and vowels are short or long.

Long vowels can be heard in many ways.

Magic E makes the vowel say it's long, long sound.

Open syllables are long vowels not followed by a consonant and a syllable.

Y twins are when Y says I in a one syllable word.

(claps) Or when Y says E in a two syllable word.

(clapping) Vowel teams are two or more letters that come together to make a long vowel sound.

A-I, A-Y, A. E-A, E-E, E. I-E, I-G-H, I. O-A, O-W, O. U-E, E-W, U. O-O, makes two different sounds.

U, like in the word spoon.

A, like in the word book.

Vowel diphthongs glide in your mouth from one sound to the next.

And they make one sound and a syllable.

O-I, O-Y, OIOY.

OIOY, OIOY, OIOY, OIOY.

O-U, O-W, OUOW, OUOW.

A-U, A-W, AUAW.

AUAW, yeah.

Consonant blends glide together but you hear both sounds.

Mirrors-off, oh my goodness that was incredible.

You did such a wonderful job following along and we've really learned so much here together.

We've also talked about when you need to double the final consonant.

And we learned a song that went along with it.

♪ When the letters L, F, S or Z ♪ Are following a short vowel in a word♪ ♪ And the word part is only one syllable♪ ♪ Then you have to double final consonants♪ Very good, you're doing such a good job of remembering everything we've done.

We also really worked a lot with a syllable division rules.

And when we are going to chop, divide up those syllables and all of the different patterns that we worked with.

We also practiced it with the song as well.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in basket ♪ And tell me what you heard (clapping) Basket, good job.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in cabin ♪ And tell me what you heard (clapping) Cabin, very good.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in basic ♪ And tell me what you heard (clapping) Basic, good.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in complex ♪ And tell me what you heard (clapping) Complex.

Last one, let's do this one here.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in construct ♪ And tell me what you heard (clapping) Construct.

Very good friends, amazing job.

All right, so we're going to just continue on with some of these patterns we've been focusing on here together.

So our learning goal or objective for today it's, I can decode or figure out new words by using spelling patterns.

This could be remembering those vowel teams we've talked about.

This could be working with the diphthongs like we did last week here together.

It's also going to practice our magic E that we've worked on here before together.

And we're gonna learn something new today called bossy R. You maybe have heard of that before or worked on it a little bit or I might've mentioned it once or twice.

We're gonna focus in on a little bit more today as we practice really being reading scientists and dissecting words and looking at all of the different parts of a word.

And really being reading scientists helps us to understand better and it makes us even better readers and able to figure out new words.

All right, friends.

So let's go ahead and review magic E. When you had a little song that we did with that as well.

Okay, and it went.

♪ Magic E, magic E the end of a word is where I'll be♪ ♪ I don't say A or E, I just sit there silently♪ ♪ But the vowel that I'm around ♪ Gets to make their long, long sounds♪ Very good, I'm impressed you remember that.

So when we practice looking at words and dissecting them here together, magic E is going to always stay with its long vowel sound.

You can see some examples here in the word bake, that magic E super silent on the end, but it makes that a in bake say it's long vowel sound.

Then you can see here, the magic E turns tap into tape.

Tub into tube, cub into cube, kit into kite, pet into Pete and rob into robe.

Very good, now let's go ahead and look at bossy R and then we'll really practice putting all of these wonderful skills together.

So I'm gonna go ahead and flip my chart here so you can see our bossy R. It looks kind of grubby up here, right?

And what better way to learn a new skill than by doing yours one of course.

All right, are you ready friends?

We're gonna do a mirrors-on to practice bossy R. It also might be called R-controlled vowels, vowel R. It's the same idea.

Are you ready?

Mirrors-on, bossy R is when the letter R changes the vowel sounds, A-R, ar.

Like in the word car.

O-R, or.

Like in the word, storm.

The next three vowels make the same sounds.

E-R, er.

Hammer.

I-R, ir.

Bird.

U-R, ur.

Surf.

Mirrors-off, very good.

So again, bossy R comes in and makes the vowel change its sound.

Bossy R is going to count as a vowel sound.

When we are looking at chopping up those different syllables.

And bossy R are going to stay together when we divide up those syllables.

Bossy R is not really short or long, but it does count as a vowel sound.

So again, ar, or and then these three all make the same sound, which is super tricky and they make the sound, er, er.

Very good, okay friends I think it is time for us to go ahead and practice some of these skills here together.

So I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen.

Okay, so you can see here, it says at the top, mixed syllable division with silent e. And you can even see our little cute magic E right here.

It says the magic E stays in the same syllable as the closest vowel the silent e makes that vowel say its name.

And we're gonna look for that V, vowel, C, consonant, E pattern.

Okay, so I'm also going to use pink and blue, just like we've been doing, just like our chart here.

And we are going to find the vowels, divide the word and read it and we're gonna go ahead and label the vowel.

So we're really practicing putting these skills together to be reading scientists and dissecting words.

Okay, so you can see this word here is already done for us.

L-o, we're gonna go ahead and sound them out together.

L-o and you can see it's already marked with that long vowel sound sign.

So I'm gonna go ahead and highlight it here, just to give us an idea to look off of.

And then you have syllable c, c hard c. Then you have long a, you can see it's already marked at that long vowel dash and then you have another consonant t. And then magic E you can go ahead and swipe a line through it to practice or to just kind of show us that it doesn't make a sound.

Okay, so the word is, l-o-c-a-t and we don't hear that e. Sounds up.

Go ahead and put the sounds on your fingers, friends.

L-o-c-a-t blend it, locate.

Now let's test the syllables by gently touching underneath your chin, locate.

So you can see, we divided the syllable after that long vowel sound and then magic E stayed together with its long vowel.

Okay, let's practice some other ones.

Our next word, let's go ahead and sound it out, friends.

We have m consonant.

A, oh no I'm sorry, i, i.

Okay, and let's go and mark with that long vowel.

Remember, long vowels get a dash just like that.

And then the short vowels get that macaroni noodle or that breadth symbol.

Okay, so we have, m-i-g, g. Consonant r, consonant a another long vowel, and then t, t okay, another constant there.

So, and we are going to again chop that syllable right after that long vowel.

Okay, sound's up friends.

M-i-g-r-a-t six sounds, blend it, migrate, test it, migrate.

So we divide the syllable right after that long vowel sound.

The word migrate is like when birds will migrate to the South for warmer weather when it is too cold outside.

Okay, let's look at the next word, friends.

We're gonna go ahead and sound it out.

You were doing such a good job reading scientists.

R consonant.

E, p, p that's vowel there.

And then we have another constant, t, t consonant.

I, i here's a vowel.

And l, l another consonant.

Okay, and let's go ahead and swipe.

We know that we're working with silent e. So make sure I swipe my e on my last word I did and we'll swipe the e on this one.

Okay, so let's sound it out again and this time we'll label the vowels.

R, e, e is that a short or a long vowel sound?

E, e, yes I'm hearing friends say that it's the short e, e, e exactly right.

So it gets a macaroni noodle.

Then we have p, p, t, t, i, i, so we got that long vowel there.

L, l okay.

R-e-p-t-i-l, six sounds, blend it, reptile.

Test it, reptile.

So this time we are going to divide the syllables right between these two consonants here.

So we have consonant, I'm sorry, vowel, consonant, consonant, vowel and you divide it between those here.

This consonant here is the guardian consonant for our vowel.

And then super silent e on the end doesn't make a sound it stays if it's long vowel sound, which is that long i.

Very good reading scientists, amazing.

All right, let's do another one.

Here you can see this word here.

Okay, and we start actually with e vowel here.

E, e. Is that a short or a long vowel sound?

What do you think, friends?

Shout it out for me nice and loud.

E, e. Yeah, you nailed it again, it is that short vowel sounds.

So it gets a macaroni noodle.

Ex, x.

Now there's e consonant.

P, p consonant.

L, l another consonant.

O, o there we go now we've got another vowel.

And is that a short or long o, friends?

O, what do you think?

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

O, so it's saying its name so it is that long vowel sound so it gets a dash.

D, d and it ends with a consonant.

And then we've got that super silent magic E on the end that doesn't make a sound.

Okay, now we need to go ahead and divide it up.

So I can see here we've got, a vowel, consonant, consonant, consonant, vowel.

Okay, so this time we are going to divide it after that first consonant.

Okay, so now we're gonna put our sounds up.

And I want you to notice that the letter x is one of the only letters that actually makes two sounds.

Listen to me say the letter x, x, x do you hear the sound that letter x makes?

X, yeah it's like, it is a k, this is the sign language k and an s, k, s. So when we put the sounds on our fingers the letter x needs to get two sounds for that, k, s, ready?

E-x-p-l-o-d, wow, seven sounds, blend it, explode.

Test it, explode.

very good, so our magic E was super silent.

It stayed with its long vowel there and we divided it after that first consonant explode.

All right, let's do another one here.

Let's do the word here.

This is the word polite.

Can you say that with me, friends?

Polite, very good.

Being super polite is so kind and we wanna try to be polite and respectful to everyone.

All right, let's go ahead and sound out this word, friends.

P, p, o, o, found a vowel.

And is o, a long or a short vowel sound?

What do you think?

Can you shout it out for me?

You're absolutely right.

You're getting so good at this.

O, is saying it's same so it is a long vowel sound.

So it gets the dash at the top.

P, o, o, o, consonant, i, i.

Another vowel there.

And is i, i short or long?

Yeah, another long vowel.

Remember, long vowels always say their name and then we have t, t consonant and then that magic E at the end.

Okay, so we have, p, o then that is where we're going to divide our syllable.

Just like we did in this word here, migrate.

And this word here, locate.

We divided after that long vowel sound.

All right, so ready friends, sounds up.

P-o-l-i-t.

Blend it, polite.

Test it, polite.

Very good, you are doing so incredible.

All right, so we practiced all of these different mixed syllable division with our silent or magic E. Let's go on and practice now some with our R-controlled or our bossy R that we practiced over here.

Okay, so it says when a vowel comes before an R, the bossy R controls that vowel and changes the sound.

So here's another little angry, bossy R, ar, car, er like in the words, flower, bird and surf and or like in the word fork.

And bossy R stays together.

So you can see this one here.

We have m consonant, er, remember I said, bossy R is your vowel sound.

So it gets color pink.

And we're gonna go ahead and box it so you can see it here together.

But again, we don't have to label it short or long.

It makes its own special sound.

Kind of like a diphthong.

And then we have, ch, ch that is our diagraph where two letters come together to make one sound.

These are consonants here.

So they get put together there, a, a vowel.

N-t and it ends with two consonants here.

Okay, so we don't need to mark this one here but a is a short vowel.

So it gets that macaroni noodle.

Let's put our sounds together and decode it right ready?

M-er-ch-a-n-t.

Blend it, merchant.

Test it, merchant.

So you can see we chopped it right after that bossy R. All right, let's try this next word right here.

We start with that the consonant p, p. Then we have, ur, ur that's another bossy R and we know it is our vowel sounds, but we don't need to label it.

I am going to put a box around it though, so you can see it really nice and neat.

Okay, all right then you can see another diagraph here as well, ch, ch, just like the ch here.

So two consonants that come together to make one sound ch, ch.

A, a.

Actually this would more be like, a, a.

And then, s, s. Okay friends.

So again, we don't need to mark this purcha short here.

And then this is actually silent e on the end.

So we can just kind of put a mark right through it there 'cause you do not hear the word or the sound e, e or e on the end.

Okay, let's go ahead and do our sounds to sound it out.

P-ur-ch-a-s, okay.

Blend it purchase, test it, purchase.

So again, you're gonna divide it right after that bossy R there and it makes the word purchase.

Like I'm going to purchase or buy something.

Okay, let's now go ahead and do this word here.

Who knows what this word is without even sounding it out?

Can you recognize it?

Yes, you're amazing friends.

This is a color word.

It is the color purple.

Purple starts with the consonant, p, p. Now again, we have that, ur, ur we've had a lot of ur, bossy R's.

And then consonant, p, p. And then we've got that le on the end.

L, l, so those go together, okay?

And now we're going to box up our bossy R, it's divided the syllable right after that ur and then you have ple.

So you've got that consonant le and we know already that consonant le stays together.

So it makes sense on a couple of different levels.

We've got our bossy R stays there and then consonant le stays together.

Ready, let's sound it out.

P-ur-p-l, p-ur-p-l. Only four sounds because le comes together and bossy R comes together.

And then we blend it to make the word purple.

Test it, purple.

Very good, all right, let's go ahead and do one more here together friends.

All right, we start with the l consonant.

O, o that is a vowel, is that a short o or a long o?

Yes, you're right.

O, o, o is a short vowel sound.

Then you have b, b, b consonant.

S, consonant.

T, consonant.

And then er, is on the end this time.

And that is our bossy R which we know makes a vowel sound.

Okay, so here we have a vowel, consonant, consonant, consonant vowel.

And when that is the case we will divide, chop that syllable right after that first consonant.

So vowel, consonant chop, consonant, consonant, vowel.

And we're gonna box up our bossy R all right, let's go ahead and sound out the word friends.

L-o-b-s-t-er.

Blend it, lobster.

Test it, lobster.

Very good friends.

You did such a wonderful job.

All right, I'll go ahead and stop sharing the screen here.

All right, so just to review what we talked about here today.

We reviewed our magic E where it makes the vowel say it's long sound.

When we divide up our syllables magic E stays with its long vowel sound.

We talked about bossy R. How R controls the vowels it's closest to.

Like in the sounds ar like car, or like storm and er, er, ir and ur.

Then we practiced all of those syllable division patterns chopping up our syllables and making sure that we label all of our vowel sounds.

You did such a wonderful job reading scientists, you're really getting so good at dissecting letters and words and looking at all of those different parts.

And it really is gonna help us to be better readers.

I can't wait to see you next week, friends have a great rest of your day, bye.
