Focus on Syllabication Please read the slide notes
2nd Grade Focus on Syllabication UNIT 3 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.

When you see a prefix or a suffix, separate it from the word. This will help you to read the word with little or no need to syllabicate. r e l a x i n g Checking for Understanding

Since this is a compound word, magic could have been used; but the originator of this word did not select this spelling. Since there is a consonant after the long /a/, it is not an open syllable, so we cannot simply write [a]. [-ay] is used at the end of a syllable/.

Magic could have been used; but the originator of this word did not select this spelling. Since there is a consonant after the long /o/, it is not an open syllable, so we cannot simply write [o]. [-ow] is used at the end of a syllable, but can be follow an the letter [n]. grow: long /o/ vowel team Since there is no consonant at the end of the syllable, magic can not be used.

Why do we separate the prefixes and suffixes before syllabicating the word?
Checking for Understanding: Answer: Separating the affixes help us to find the base word quicker. Often, we can determine the pronunciation by just using our eyes.

Then, they explain how they know the number of syllables in the words. Students must work on this independently and write their answers in complete sentences on lined paper. re-pair: Separate the prefix [dis]. The first syllable is open. The last syllable is r-control. Answer: Using my eyes, I can see the prefix [dis-]. After I separate this out, I notice that the word has two talking vowels: e and air. There is one consonant between them. I usually cut before the consonant in this word. The first syllable is open and the last syllable is r-control. POP QUIZ: Write how you would syllabicate this word using just your eyes. Write your answer in complete sentences.
