2nd Grade Focus on Syllabication UNIT 4 Please read the slide notes prior to teaching. Three mini-lessons are provided for each week of instruction. They are designed to build on the word-work/spelling in Treasures, extending the sound-symbol relationships taught into polysyllable words. The lessons build sequentially and should be taught systematically. The lessons follow a common structure: Anticipatory Set: A question related to prior learning and used as a jumping-off point for the lesson. This can be done orally. Encourage students to Think-Pair-Share before discussing as a class. It is important that students explain their thinking. Direct Instruction: New instruction and/or guided practice is provided. Students can follow along using whiteboards. Independent Practice: Students apply the learning independently. Students can practice syllabication on whiteboards. Closure: A question to wrap-up the learning. This can be done orally. Encourage students to Think-Pair-Share before discussing as a class. It is essential that students are able to explain their thinking. At the end of the final lesson for the week, a Pop Quiz is administered. The quiz typically consists of a single word to syllabicate and a question to answer. Students should do the quiz on a piece of blank paper. You want to check the students’ metalinguistic responses. Is the syllabication done correctly? Are they written in complete sentences? Did the student respond fully to the question? Do they explain their thinking in a way which adequately conveys the concept being addressed? The Smart Start lessons differ. There are 5 lessons total to cover the two weeks of instruction. They do not work on syllabication. Instead, the Start Smart lessons review a critical spelling rule. Once taught, the students should be held accountable for this information for the remainder of the school year. Anytime they spell a LUCKY SHORT word, they must spell it correctly.

Our last syllable type is the diphthong syllable
Our last syllable type is the diphthong syllable. *Note the letters [ph] say /f/. Direct Instruction:

There is no diacritical mark for all diphthongs in the dictionary, so use this one. We usually use –ow at the end of a word...plow Although it can come before an [n]...town or an [l]...owl Direct Instruction:

Tell what you know about the spelling patterns on this card.
Checking for Understanding They both say the vowel sound we hear in the word “cow”. [-ow] is more common. We know this because it is the first spelling on the card. [-ow] is usually found at the end of syllable/word, but it can be follow by an [n] or [l]. [ou] is used at the beginning or middle of a syllable.

Compare and contrast the highlighted spelling patterns on this card.
Direct Instruction: [-ow] on the boat card is a vowel team. Vowel teams are two letters, usually two vowels, that work together to make an expected sound. One of the letters is the captain of the team and says its long vowel sound. The letter [o] is the captain of this vowel team, so it says the long /o/ sound. (The only exception is ea, which can make both a long vowel sound, as in read, and a short sound, as in bread.) [-ow] on the cow card is a diphthong. Diphthongs are two letters, usually two vowels, that work together that make a brand new sound, not one of the sounds normally associated with either letter. Both of these spellings are usually found at the end of a syllable, but can be followed by an [n] or [l]. slow how own bowl down owl

If we divide words between vowels, why don’t we divide between the vowels in the word boil?
Checking for Understanding: When syllabicating, we are not counting the number of vowel letters, we are counting the number of vowel sounds. Since [oi] work together to make a single sound, we would not divide between them.

When spelling, what does the dash direct you to do?
Direct Instruction: The dash indicates the place value of the spelling pattern. [-oy] is typically found at the end of a syllable. If you hear [oi] at the end of a syllable, spell it with [-oy].

Use [k] at the end of one syllable words that are not lucky (-ck). chain-saw: Separate the suffix [-ed]. The first syllable is a long /a/ vowel team. We expect to see [ai] in the middle of a word. The second syllable is diphthong. We expect to see [aw] at the end of a word. It is a compound word. Problem-solve the spelling for the long /a/. This could have been a magic e, since this is a compound word, but the originator of the spelling did not choose it. We cannot use a single [a] because the syllable ends with a consonant. This would make the vowel say a short sound. -ay is found at the end of a syllable. ai is the most common possible spelling, and that is correct. / c h a i n s a w i n g V C C V
