1. 1st Grade Reading Vocabulary 1.8 Blend two to four phonemes into recognizable words (e.g., /c/a/t/=cat; /f/l/a/t/=flat). Lesson to be used by EDI-trained teachers only. DataWORKS Educational Research (800) 495-1550 www.dataworks-ed.com ©2012 All rights reserved. Comments? feedback@dataworks-ed.com Phonemic Awareness Please read all directions before using the following lesson. 1.Some phonemic awareness lessons do not have a handout or worksheet for students because students are being taught how to listen for specific sounds and/or respond to questions orally. 2.Unlike most EDI lessons, these phonemic awareness lessons do not have Independent Practice and Periodic Review for the students to perform individually. The repetition included in this lesson must be guided throughout, therefore we have titled the pages Guided Practice 1, Guided Practice 2… 3.Students may be shown the Learning Objective, Activating Prior Knowledge, Concept Development, and Importance pages. They may also be shown the Concept Definition and the steps listed at the top of the Skill Development/Guided Practice pages. However, students must not be shown any of the problems, words, or phrases that they are expected to listen for. The reason for this is students are expected to learn how to listen for specific sounds or words as opposed to identifying spelling patterns or word families in text. 4.These lessons are intended to be used in a group setting following the “Directions for Teacher” listed in the Skill Development/Guided Practice Page. For most lessons, the teacher will use the following steps: For Skill Development/Guided Practice: a. Read the problem or say the names of the pictures aloud. b. Ask students to pair-share the answer with a partner. c. Call on 4-5 non-volunteers to give their answer. d. If students answer incorrectly, or do not have a response, teacher should de-escalate the question by giving the student two choices. e. After several non-volunteers produce a correct answer, the teacher can call on volunteers as well. For Guided Practice 1-4: a. Read the problem or say the names of the pictures aloud. b. Ask students to come up with an answer on their own. c. Call on 4-5 non-volunteers to give their answer. d. If students answer incorrectly, or do not have a response, teacher should de-escalate the question by giving the student two choices. e. After several non-volunteers produce a correct answer, the teacher can call on volunteers as well.

CFU What are we going to do today? Activate (or provide) Prior Knowledge CFU Students, you already know the letters and the letter sounds in your name. When we put letter sounds together, they can make words, like your name. This is called blending sounds. Today, we will blend sounds into words. **Note to Teacher: Students do not have a handout for this lesson. This lesson should focus on students’ phonemic awareness. What is the first letter in your name? What sound does that letter make? What is another letter in your name? What sound does that letter make? 1.Mike 2. (student pair-share)
