(bright music) - Hi, good afternoon, campers.

Welcome back to Teaching in Room 9, our Summertime edition.

My name's Julia.

I'm a second grade teacher at the Soulard School.

I'm here for Teaching in Room 9.

My lessons focus on phonemic awareness.

If you'd like to get something to write with, a pen or pencil and a piece of paper, we are gonna be putting some words together here at the end if you'd like to follow along.

All right, campers.

So we know that we're focusing on phonemic awareness.

What is phonemic awareness?

Yeah, I can tell some of my friends at home have been following along with me.

Maybe you've seen some of my lessons here before.

Phonemes are the smallest units of sounds that letters make.

And we're going to be talking about how letters have sounds, and how they come together to make a word.

And we're gonna be just like reading scientists dissecting words, looking at those individual letters, the sounds that they make, letter patterns, and all the different ways that they come together to make the words that we can say, read, or write.

All right.

So let's go ahead and review some of the things we've talked about here together so far.

We started by focusing on rhyming words.

And we understood that rhyming words have to have that same ending sound.

Then last week we focused on onset rhyme.

So again, dealing with that end part of the word, that rhyme.

And the onset is just everything that comes before the rhyme.

So we took what we already knew about rhyming words having to have those same ending sounds and we started working with changing those beginning sounds, that onset.

And we learned that words that have the same ending sounds, so the same vowel sounds and the same sounds at the end, are all part of word families.

And we worked at switching out those onset, those initial sounds, and we made a bunch of words that came together to be those word families.

We changed out those short vowel sounds.

We kept the ending sound the same.

We just changed out those initial sounds and made a bunch of different words just by using the beginning and the ends of words.

So now here today, friends, we are really going to be looking now at the whole word.

We focused on our beginning and our end.

Now we are going to be just like that stretchy snake decoding strategy.

Can I get a me too if you've heard of Stretchy Snake before to help you read unknown words?

Yeah, I'm seeing some me toos.

You can give me a yes or a no if you're not sure.

That's okay.

Stretchy Snake just takes the word and we stretch it out so that we can look at all parts of the word, all of those different sounds that we hear, and are these sounds in the beginning, the middle, or the end of words.

So our learning goals today, friends, are I can segment or break apart words into sounds.

Can you say that with me, friends?

I can segment words into sounds.

Very good.

I can understand if sounds are in the beginning, middle, or end of words.

Very good, campers.

So we are really working on breaking apart or segmenting our words into the individual sounds that we hear.

And we'll kind of think about are those sounds in the beginning, the middle, or the end of the word?

All right.

So when we were learning about rhyming words I taught you a song to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It."

So we're gonna kind of use our chart here.

As you can guess, our theme this week is outer space.

Can I get a me too if you love learning about outer space?

Me too, for sure.

I love learning about outer space.

So we're gonna focus our word work today on different words having to do with outer space.

So my chart here says segmenting sounds, and you can see I've got moon, sun, and star.

Now we're gonna do that song for rhyming words and using moon and sun from our chart here.

Okay, so the tune is "If You're Happy and You Know It."

♪ Rhyming words are words that have the same sounds ♪ ♪ They have to end in the same way ♪ ♪ Rhyming words have the same vowel sound ♪ ♪ And the same sounds at the very end ♪ ♪ An example might be moon and soon ♪ ♪ Moon and soon have the same, oo oo vowels.

♪ ♪ They also end with the same nn nn sound ♪ ♪ That's why moon and soon are rhyming words ♪ ♪ An example might be sun and fun ♪ ♪ Sun and fun have that same uh uh vowel ♪ ♪ They also end with the same nn nn sound ♪ ♪ That's why sun and fun are rhyming words ♪ Very good, friends.

You remember that song that we've done together?

Yes, you're a rock star.

So we started with moon.

Let's go ahead and put those sounds on our finger.

We're really gonna stretch it out using that stretchy snakes.

Okay, ready?

Mm, oo, nn.

Now blend it all together.

Moon.

So moon has that mm mm sound right there in the beginning.

So I'm gonna put a buh, buh, B for beginning.

So that mm is our very first sound.

Then we have that oo vowel sound.

O O comes together in two different ways.

Oo, like in the word moon, or uh like in the word book or look.

So here we have that oo, that long vowel O O sound.

That is our vowel sound and it is the sound that we have right in the middle.

Then our last sound here is that nn final consonant.

That is for our end.

So we've got beginning, middle, and end.

Let's do moon again on our fingers, mm, oo, nn.

Blend it, moon.

Beginning, mm, middle, oo, final or end, nn.

Very good.

And then in the song you heard I had the rhyming word moon and soon are examples of rhyming words.

So I put here, I've changed that initial sound.

So instead of mm, I changed it to ss, oo, nn.

Blend it, soon, very good.

Like I will be over soon.

Now, campers, what if I change our initial sound again, that onset, from that, first we had mm, then we had ss, now I want you to change it to nn.

What new word would I have?

Very good.

I heard a camper say, "Noon."

Nn, oo, nn.

Very good, like afternoon or morning, noon, and night.

Now let's change that nn.

We're gonna put in a blend.

Okay, are you ready?

Really stretching your brain here.

Instead of nn for our beginning sound, we're putting in the blend ss, puh, ss, puh.

So those are our beginning sounds.

Then we have that oo vowel, and nn at the end.

Blend it all together, what word do I have?

Very good, yes, spoon.

So you hear all these words are in our word family together.

They all have that same rhyme, the oo, middle vowel, and nn ending consonant.

We're just changing that onset, that initial sound, to make these new words.

Then in my song we used sun and fun.

♪ An example might be sun and fun ♪ ♪ Sun and fun have the same uh uh vowels ♪ ♪ They also end with the same nn nn sound ♪ ♪ That's why sun and fun are rhyming words ♪ Very good.

So in this word here, ss is our first sound in the beginning.

Then uh is our middle vowel.

And nn is our final consonant.

So ss in the beginning, uh in the middle, nn in the end.

And as you heard, I rhymed it with fun.

So first let's put sun on our fingers, ready?

Ss, uh, nn.

Blend it, sun.

Then we're gonna take that initial sound, that onset, ss, and you're gonna turn it into ff, ff, what new word?

Very good.

Ff, uh, nn, blend it, fun.

Nice job.

Now what if you take the ff and you change it to an rr sound?

Rr, uh, nn.

Blend it, what's your new word?

Very good, run.

Run.

And one more.

What if you change the rr in run, rr, uh, nn, and you change it to a buh, buh consonant?

What new word would you have?

Very good, campers.

Buh, uh, nn, bun.

Bun, very good.

All right.

Then you can see down here, we have the word star, star.

Now this one is a little tricky.

We've got that blend in the beginning.

So our very first sound in the beginning here is ss, ss.

And then you have that tt, tt constant.

So that blend ss, tt, those are your beginning sounds, or the beginning and the middle sound here because this word has a bossy R at the end.

Bossy R is when R changes the vowel that it's right next to.

So A R come together to say ar.

Let me hear your best bossy ar.

Very good, you sound like a bunch of pirates, friends.

So ar is our vowel sound.

And that's actually our ending sound here as well.

So this time, ss is your first sound, tt is your middle, ar is your vowel.

Ss, tt, ar, blend it, star, very good.

Now what if I take out my blend ss, tt, and I change it to ff, ff?

What new word would I have?

Yeah, very good.

Ff, ar, far.

Like our sun is a star that is very far a way.

Very good.

Now what if I change the ff, ar, so just two sounds in those, ff, ar.

What if I take that and I change it to juh, juh?

What new word would I have?

Very good, jar.

So that ar vowel, that's our end sound.

Juh is our beginning sound to make the word jar.

Now last one, campers.

What if I take the juh in jar and I change it to a hard C, a cuh, cuh sound?

Cuh, ar.

What's my new word?

Very good, car, car.

That would be my new word.

So all of these words are in a word family.

These words are in a word family.

And these words here are also in a word family.

They're rhyming words.

They have the same vowel sound and the same final sounds at the end.

We're really working on stretching our sounds out and looking at what sounds come in the beginning, the middle, and the end, and changing them to make new words.

All right, now we're gonna practice by singing a space song and we'll listen for the rhyming words.

And then we'll talk about at the end I will segment them out and talk about what sounds come in the beginning, middle, and end.

So now this song is to the tune of "Itsy Bitsy Spider."

Okay, I want you singing along with me nice and loud.

Try your best.

I will sing it again at the end, okay?

♪ Climb aboard the space ship ♪ We're going to the moon ♪ Hurry and get ready ♪ We're going to blast off soon ♪ ♪ Put on your helmet and buckle up real tight ♪ ♪ Get ready for the countdown ♪ Let's count with all our might ♪ Ready, count with me, friends.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!

Very good, friends.

So what rhyming words did you hear in our song?

Very good, campers.

I can tell you really had your listening ears turned up.

Our first example of rhyming words were moon and soon.

So again, let's put those sounds, let's put them on our arm this time.

Our initial sound in moon is mm, middle, oo, final, nn.

Moon.

Then you took the mm, changed it to ss to make ss oo nn, soon.

Very good.

What were some other examples of rhyming words you heard in our song?

Very good, yeah.

Buckle up real tight, count with all our might.

So tt, I, tt, tight.

Then we changed it to mm, change that initial onset, mm, I tt, might.

Need to put it on your arm.

Tt, I, tt.

Tt, beginning, I, middle, tt, end.

And then mm, I, tt as well.

Very good.

Let's sing that song one more time just for good measure.

I want to see you counting down, and when you blast off I want you to fly all around in space.

Are you ready?

♪ Climb aboard the space shape ♪ We're going to the moon ♪ Hurry and get ready ♪ We're going to blast off soon ♪ ♪ Put on your helmet and buckle up real tight ♪ ♪ Get ready for the countdown ♪ Let's count with all our might ♪ Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!

Very good astronauts.

All right, let's come back down to earth.

We're gonna do one more song.

This one is to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot."

Are you ready?

Listen for those rhyming words again, okay, friends?

♪ I'm a little rocket pointing at the moon ♪ ♪ Now I'm getting fueled up, we'll be ready soon ♪ ♪ When it's time to board me, then I will say ♪ ♪ Blast off, zoom, we're on our way ♪ All right, what did you hear?

What were some rhyming words in that song?

You're right, again, we heard moon and soon.

Okay, sounds up, friends.

Mm, oo, nn, ss, oo, nn.

Very good.

So again, we're just changing that initial sound.

What else did you hear in the song, friends?

Very good, campers.

You're right.

Say and way.

So say, is ss is your first sound.

Ay is your vowel and your last sound.

There was just two sounds in the word say.

Ss, ay, say.

And then it rhymed with wuh, ay, way.

Put it on your arm as well.

Ss, ay.

Wuh, ay.

Very good, let's sing that song one more time.

♪ I'm a little rocket pointing at the moon ♪ ♪ Now I'm getting fueled up, we'll be ready soon ♪ ♪ When it's time to board me, then I'll say ♪ ♪ Blast off, zoom, we're on our way ♪ Very good, friends.

Nicely done.

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

And we're gonna practice segmenting, stretching it out, sounding out our words for three phoneme words, words that have three sounds, and words that have four sounds.

Let's go ahead and practice here together.

Okay, friends.

So you can see here we've got a little rocket ship, and it has one, two, three boxes.

Because, again, we are looking at sounding out words that have three sounds.

Okay, so here's our first word right here.

Okay.

What is this a picture of, friends?

Very good, yeah.

I heard some friends say kitty, but we know that kitty doesn't have three sounds.

But cat does.

Very good.

So cat is cuh, aa, tt.

So this is where we're gonna write it out.

Cuh is your initial sound.

Aa, aa, that's our B, or our middle vowel sound.

That's a short A sound.

Tt, tt is our final sound.

And then blend it all together.

Cuh, aa, tt, blend it, cat.

Very good.

Let's try another one, friends.

All right, what about this picture here?

What's this a picture of, friends?

Yeah, absolutely.

It's a pig.

Puh, ii, guh.

Blend it, pig.

So we've got that puh, puh, that is our initial sound.

Then we have ii, ii.

That is your short I, your middle vowel.

And then the final sound is guh, guh.

That's our G there.

That's our final sound.

Puh, ii, guh.

Blend it, pig.

Very good.

All right, what about this one here?

What's this a picture of, friends?

Yeah, you're right.

It's a log, log.

So I noticed that log and pig have that same final guh, G sound.

So I'm gonna leave that G. So my last sound, my ending sound is the same.

What is my first sound, my beginning sound in log?

Shout it out for me nice and loud.

Yeah, very good.

Ll, that L sound.

Then we have ah, ah.

What vowel is that?

Ah, ah.

Very good, short O.

Okay, sound it out with me.

Ll, ah, guh.

Blend it, log.

Very good.

One last word.

Okay, what is this one here?

Very cute little buggy here.

What kind of bug is this?

Yeah, it's a fly.

Or we could do bug.

Both of those have three sounds in them.

So let's start with fly.

Ff, ff is our initial sound.

Ll, ll, that's your middle vowel, or I'm sorry, your middle sound, it is a consonant.

And then I, I, this is one of those Y twins where Y says I at the end of a one-syllable word.

So here in the word fly we have ff, ll, I.

And I, that Y here making that I sound is our vowel sound, so our vowel comes at the end.

Now, if we were to do the word bug, let's go ahead and erase this.

Bug.

what would it start with?

What letter would it start with?

Buh.

Very good.

Uh, short U. Guh, guh.

That G sound at the end.

Sound it out with me, friends.

Buh, uh, guh.

Blend it.

Bug.

Very good, friends.

All right.

Let's practice a few four phoneme words here.

Okay, so you can see now I've got four boxes, four boxes because I have four phonemes or sounds in the word.

Let's start with this word right here.

What is that a picture of, my friends?

What do you think, campers?

Oh, very good, you're absolutely right.

It's a frog.

Let me hear your best ribbit.

Ribbit.

Oh, very good froggies.

All right, now frog.

The very beginning sound is ff, ff, which is the letter F. Rr, rr, R. Ah, ah, what vowel sound?

Short O, very good.

Guh, guh is our final sound here.

Frog.

Very good.

Let's blend or sound it out and then blend it all together.

Ff, rr, those are our beginning sounds.

Ah, middle vowel.

Guh, final consonant.

Frog, very good.

Okay, let's do another one.

What about this here?

What is this a picture of, my friends.

Very good, yes, a desk.

A desk like that you have at school.

So desk, duh, duh is our first sound which is the letter D. Eh, eh, that's our vowel, that's our very next sound.

And that is a short E, very good.

Then you have ss, ss, good job, letter S. And then our last sound is kuh, kuh, it's a K. Okay, so here we have the duh is our beginning, eh is our middle vowel, ss, kuh are our ending sounds, very good.

All right, let's do one more.

What about this one here, friends?

What's that a picture of?

Absolutely, you're right, it is a nest, a nest.

Now my beginning letter is nn, nn, that's my beginning sound, right?

What letter makes the nn sound?

Very good, you're right.

The letter N, nn.

Then I have short eh, eh.

That's short E, so it can actually just stay right there.

Then my next sound in nest is ss, ss.

So that can stay there too.

Now I have to change my last sound here, tt, tt, to make that tt sound.

All right, very good, friends.

Let's sound it out.

Nn, beginning.

Eh, eh, middle vowel.

Ss tt, ending blends.

Very good, friends.

All right.

Now let's look at some space words here.

Let's go ahead and look at this word here.

This is one of our planets.

Who knows what planet this is?

Shout it out for me nice and loud.

Yeah, Jupiter, very good.

Jupiter is one of those gas giants.

It's really big and really gaseous.

All right.

So we've got our first sound here.

Juh, juh.

Oo, oo.

That U kinda makes that long vowel sound, so I gave it a dash to show it's a long vowel sound.

Juh, puh, puh, P is our next sound, ii, ii, short I, so I'm gonna give it a short vowel sound.

Tt, tt.

And then our last sound here is one of those bossy Rs.

So bossy R comes together to make that er sound.

Let's go ahead and sound it out again.

Juh, oo, puh, ii, tt, er, very good.

And because it has this long vowel, this short vowel, and bossy R at the end, you have three syllables Ju pi ter.

Very good.

All right, let's do one last one here together, friends.

Let's do this one here.

This is our neighbor right next to us.

It is the red planet Mars, Mars.

So here we have mm, beginning sound, ar, bossy R just like we've been learning about.

Ar is our middle vowel.

Zz, S sometimes makes that zz sound, especially when it's at the very end.

So mm, beginning, ar, middle vowel, zz is our final sound there.

Very good, campers.

I'll stop sharing my screen.

All right, friends.

So we really worked with stretching sounds out to segment or break apart our sounds.

And we looked at what sounds came in the beginning, the middle vowel sounds, and the ending sounds as well.

Thank you, campers, for all of your hard work.

I'll see you next time, friends.

Bye.
