(upbeat music) - Hi friends, welcome back to Teaching in Room 9, our region's largest classroom.

My name's Julia.

I'm one of the second grade teachers at The Soulard School.

And here for Teaching in Room 9, my lessons focus on phonemic awareness, letters and the smallest units of sounds that letters make.

Welcome back friends.

Hope you're having a really great start to your day, great start to your week.

I'm really excited that we get to do some reading and learning here together.

All right, so let's go ahead and warm up our brains, tickle your brains.

Let me see you tickle your brains.

And we're gonna warm up by revealing all of the things we've learned here together so far.

All right, I say you say (mumbles) awareness, and parts of a book.

Nicely done, now we'll review all those other skills by doing mirrors on.

So when I say mirrors on, you're gonna repeat everything I say and do until I say mirrors off.

Are you ready to try it with me?

We've got a lot of knowledge and information to get through, so I need you super focused.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Mirrors on.

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 different ways.

Magic E makes the vowel say its long, long sound.

Open syllables are long vowels not followed by a consonant.

Y twins are when Y says I in a one syllable word 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-E, E-A, E. I-E, I-G-H, I. O-A, O-W, O. U-E, E-W, U. OO makes two sounds U, like in the word spoon.

Or like in the word book.

Vowel diphthongs glide in your mouth.

OI, OY, OY, OY, OY, OY.

OU, OW, AW.

AU, AW, OW.

Oh yeah.

Consonant blends are letters that glide together but you hear all sounds.

Mirrors off.

Wow, that was amazing.

Can you believe we've learned so much here together.

Then last week friends we focused on doubling that final consonant.

And I taught you a song so we're gonna go ahead and sing it here together.

♪ 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 ♪ So remember from last week when we had that short vowel in a word or a word part and the letters L, F, S or Z ended the word, you had to double the final constant.

All right, so now this week and next, we're gonna be focusing on what you probably already guessed, syllables.

Who remembers what's a syllable?

Amazing, I'm hearing so many good answers.

I'm hearing some friends say syllables are beats in a word or the sounds in a word.

Some of my friends even remember that syllables are built around a talking vowel.

Amazing, so we'll be looking at all the different ways that we can break apart or divide up syllables in order for us to be able to learn new words.

So here's our learning goal friends.

I can decode words using syllables.

Decode just means for us to be able to figure out a new unknown word.

And we can do that by learning some of these different patterns here and looking at the way we divide up or break apart those syllables.

And as you can see friends there are so many different ones here that we're going to be focusing on.

So that's why we'll practice it together this week and next.

All right, so let's go ahead and look at this chart right here.

This one is kind of just some of your basic ideas or rules behind how we are going to chop up or divide up our syllables.

Here you can see here's our little ear.

It says there is one vowel sound per syllable.

So again, syllables are built around a talking vowel.

You can split syllables after CK or X.

Let's test out some of these words so we can clap syllables or we can test them by tapping underneath your chin like that.

So let's try this right here.

This is the word boxes.

Test it, boxes.

You hear we chopped that syllable right after the X.

Here's another word, the word is nickel.

Test it, nickel, very good.

So we chopped those syllables right after this CK or the X.

Down here it says compound words.

Who knows, what's a compound word?

It's okay if you don't know it here together.

We haven't really talked about it much but some of my friends maybe have heard it at school before.

Yeah, compound words are when you have two words and they're words all on their own but then they come together to make a new word.

Like in the word birdhouse, bird is a word, house is a word, put it together what do you get?

Birdhouse, good.

Like mail, man, put it together, mailman.

Butter, fly, butterfly.

Very good, so you will chop your syllables between your two compound words.

And then you can see here it says split doubled letters.

And we see our little doubled friend here and here's our word.

The word is summer.

Test it, summer.

Very good, you can see the M was doubled so you chop it between the M's.

What other word in here has doubled letters?

Yeah, I can't get anything past you.

Letters has doubled letters.

Test it, letter's.

Very good, so you chop it between those doubled letters.

It's kind of the same idea as this one right down here.

It says the VC ¦CV.

It means, vowel consonant and you can see the line that's where you chop, consonant vowel.

So you've got two vowels with two consonants in between.

Here's some examples, sister.

Test it sister.

Here you've got your vowel, your vowel, your two consonants in between and you chop it between those two consonants.

After is our next word.

Test it after.

Very good, so you chop it between those two consonants again.

And then lastly another rule to keep in your brain for when we are dividing up or chopping syllables is prefixes and suffixes.

Those are some other big words.

What do those words mean?

What are those words?

Prefixes and suffixes.

You heard them before, you can give a me too or yes if you've heard those words before.

Very nice, I'm seeing some yeses some no's that's okay.

Prefixes and suffixes are word parts, say that with me, Prefixes and suffixes are word parts, good job.

Prefixes come at that beginning, suffixes go at the end.

So they are word parts in the beginning or the end of a root word.

And when you find those words that have prefixes and suffixes, you'll chop those syllables after your prefix or before your suffix.

We'll look into that some more as we practice these together.

And you can see this one here is when we are really starting to be reading scientists.

So we are dissecting these words that we're looking at.

We're looking for vowels and consonants and we're looking for the spelling patterns so we know where to chop our syllables.

Okay let's look at the first one here, it's the same one as this one here.

Vowel consonant, you see my dot, that's where we chop.

Vowel consonant, consonant vowel.

So again, two consonants between two vowels, chop it between those consonants.

We get our word, the word is basket.

Test it basket.

Okay, short vowel, short vowel, a, e. Chop between your two consonants.

Over here, vowel consonant chop, vowel.

The word is cabin, test it cabin, A, I, both of those are short vowels.

You can see too here that are short vowels are marked by a little symbol above it.

It's called a (indistinct) symbol but I like to call it a macaroni noodle 'cause that's what it makes me think of.

Cab vowel, consonant.

Chop in, in, there's our second syllable.

And then both of those vowels are short.

So you're chopping it after that consonant.

Now over here, we have the same letters, don't we?

VC V, VC V. But you can see that my dot is in a different space.

And again remember, the dot is where you chop.

That's where we chop your syllables.

So here, you chopped it after the consonant but on this spelling pattern, you chop it after the vowel.

And the vowel is long.

Here's our word, basic.

Test it, basic.

Let's put it on our fingers, B-A-S-I-C five sounds there.

But you can see we chop it after that long vowel a, and you can see the long vowel is marked with a dash.

Dash long, long.

Then chop consonant and then your vowel here is short, the macaroni noodle basic.

And then the last one we're gonna focus on together here today is this one over here.

Look how many letters we're getting, we're really doing a good job in building and stretching our brains.

So you have vowel consonant, chop constant, constant, vowel.

So here we have a vowel, three consonants and then another vowel.

And you're going to chop your syllable after that first consonant.

So here's our word, complex, complex Like if something is complex.

It's a little more complicated or has layers to it.

And you have C-O-M vowel consonant, chop P-L two more consonants, E is your vowel there and then X on the end.

So you chop it after that first consonant.

All right friends, now we get to practice all these rules we've learned here together.

And we're going to be using a song as we do it.

So, our song is ♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word, ♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in basket ♪ And tell me what you heard basket ♪ We found the pattern, vowel consonant, consonant vowel, and you chop it in between those two consonants.

Let's practice another one.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word ♪ ♪ Clap sounds in cabin ♪ And tell me what you heard cabin ♪ We found our pattern, vowel consonant, chop, vowel.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word ♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in basic ♪ And tell me what you heard basic ♪ Chop it after your vowel, your long vowel, then you have a consonant in the short vowel, last one.

♪ Syllables are sounds we hear in each and every word ♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in complex ♪ And tell me what you heard complex ♪ Vowel consonant chop, consonant, consonant vowel.

All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen here.

All right, so you can see we've got some examples of words here and we are going to practice all of these syllable rules in order for us to decode or figure out new words.

You can see the first one is done here for us.

So I'm gonna move on to the second one here.

Anybody know what this word is?

Very good, yes, mascot.

♪ Syllables are sounds you hear in each and every word ♪ ♪ Clap the sounds in mascot ♪ And tell me what you heard mascot ♪ Okay, so first thing we're gonna do is we're going to find our vowels.

Let's sound it out.

M-A, do you see that vowel?

I'm gonna highlight our vowels in pink just like on our chart.

And is that a short vowel sound, A give me a yes or a no.

Yeah, you're right, it is a short vowel sound.

So I'm gonna give it that macaroni noodle.

All right, then we have S, there is a consonant.

C, you have another constant there.

And then A, is that a short or long?

Show me on your hands.

Short or long.

Good, yeah, you can also do the macaroni for the short or long dash.

You're right it is short.

So we've got that same pattern as in helmet.

So you're going to chop it between the two consonants.

Chop and you have mas cut, blend it, mascot.

Very good, let's decode this word right here next to it.

It is the word trumpet.

T-R-U, I found a vowel.

U, is that a short U or a long U?

Show me, short or long or you can do short or long.

Yeah, you're right, it's a short U.

So I put the macaroni noodle, then you have M, consonant, P, consonant, E, I found another vowel.

And then your last sound here is T. There our vowel is short again.

So we have the same spelling pattern.

Then you're going to divide it between your consonants.

Trumpet.

Okay, Let's test it, trumpet.

Let's say each sound T-R-U-M-P-E-T. Good, trumpet when we blend it.

All right, let's do another example here.

So that was our first syllable rule that we use where we had the vowel consonant chop, consonant vowel and they were short vowels.

Now here, we're going to be looking at vowel consonant vowel and chopping it after that consonant.

Okay, so you can see our first one is done here for us so let's look at the second word here.

Let's start to sound it out.

T-I we found a vowel.

I, is that short or a long?

You're right, macaroni short, short, I then you see M, say consonant.

I, we see another vowel, it's the same vowel.

So I already know it is short because that's that same vowel there.

And then the last on there is D, okay, blend it all together.

T-I-M-I-D blend it, timid, very good.

So again, we've got our vowel consonant and then you chop it, here's your syllables.

Are you ready to test it?

Timid, timid, very good.

All right, let's do the word underneath it here.

First letter is C, it's followed by an O so I know it's a hard C. If C is followed by I, E or Y it will be a soft C, but because O is not those three letters I know it's a hard C sound.

So we have C-O O is my vowel.

C-O is that a short vowel or a long vowel?

Yeah, short macaroni.

C-O-M got my consonant M and then I have another vowel E. Okay, is that short or long?

What do you think?

You're so smart friends, you're right, it is a short vowel sound E. So same pattern that we have in the two words above it, You are going to chop it after the consonant.

All right, so let's put all the sounds up on our fingers sounds up, C-O-M-E-T five sounds.

Test it, comet.

So you split your syllable after the M right there.

All right, let's practice our next rule.

So we've practiced our first two.

Now you can see in this one here, same letters where it is a vowel consonant vowel.

But this time we're chopping it after the vowel and the vowel is long.

Do the same thing here.

All right, here's this first word here, but sound it out.

S-I, I found a vowel.

Is I the short I sound or the long I sound?

What do you think?

You can show me short, long or short or long.

Yes, very good, I is the long vowel sound.

So we put a dash this time instead of a macaroni noodle.

And then you have L there's your consonant.

And then E, I found our other vowel there, E. Is E a short E or a long E?

Yeah, very good.

It needs a macaroni noodle, it's a short E sound.

And then you chop your syllable after the long vowel.

Chop, okay.

Let's put the sounds up.

S-I-L-E-N-T blend it, silent.

Test it, silent.

Very good, all right, let's try another one.

Let's try this word that is right next to it right here.

Start at the beginning.

N-A I found a vowel.

Is that a long vowel or a short vowel?

Yeah, you're absolutely right it is a long so it needs a dash.

Okay, and then V, consonant.

Y, I see an example of whatever Y twins.

Okay, so Y here is a vowel.

So I'm gonna use my pink here.

And then Y is that a long vowel sound or a short vowel sound?

What do you think?

Y, you are absolutely right, it is a long vowel sound so I'm gonna give it a dash for long.

And remember you chop your syllables in this pattern here by chopping it after the first long vowel, okay.

So sounds up, N-A-V-Y blend it, navy.

Test it, navy.

Very good friends that was absolutely incredible.

Let's do one more on this one and then we'll move to the next one.

Let's do this word right here.

Are you ready?

We're gonna sound it out.

R-A, A found a vowel.

A, long or short?

Shout it out, yeah.

Very good it's long, so I gave it that dash long, long.

V, we've got that V again too.

There's our consonant V and then E, our vowel is E, a short or a long vowel sound?

Yeah, you're right, on this one it is short.

And remember in this pattern you chop after the first long vowel.

Okay, ready?

Sound's up.

R-A-V-E-N blend it, raven, test it, raven.

You chop it after that long A.

All right, let's practice.

The last one that we've learned here together and then we'll learn the rest of them together next week.

So in this one here, this is the one with all those letters.

So you've got the vowel consonant consonant consonant.

So you have three consonants between your two vowels.

Okay, but don't forget it says here to check for compound words.

If we find compound words, then the rule, this rule that we do here is actually going to be a little different because you have to split your compound words, okay.

So let's try this first one here together.

Sounds up, H-U found a vowel.

Okay, U short or long?

Amazing friends, you're right.

It is a short vowel, short U. U, so I gave it a macaroni noodle.

Then we have N, that's a consonant.

D, another consonant so I'm gonna highlight it in blue.

R, consonant.

E, found a vowel, is it short or long?

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

Short, and then you have that last letter there is a consonant D. All right, are you ready friends.

Sounds up, H-U-N-D-R-E-D.

Seven sounds, blend it, hundred.

Okay test it, hundred.

Very good, so we see here we chop it.

You've got your vowel, your consonant and then you chop it after that consonant there.

Hundred, hundred.

Okay I'm gonna stop sharing my screen here.

All right, friends.

I am so super proud of you.

You did such an incredible job and we learned so much here together.

We looked at our syllables.

We know they have to have a talking vowel in each syllable.

We looked at some of these different rules and then we started focusing on these top four spelling patterns.

Okay, we had one vowel, consonant consonant vowel, you chop it in between.

Then you have vowel consonant chop vowel.

Long vowel, chop, consonant vowel.

And then vowel consonant, chop, consonant consonant vowel.

Amazing job friends, I'm so proud of you.

I'll see you next time and we'll practice these other roles here together.

Have a good rest of your day, bye.
