Author: Becca Merchant School: ABC Elementary

Lesson Title: Short Vowel Sounds

Length: 45 minutes

Date: 3/11/2013

GLCE: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.4.3a Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic words in context and out of context. OBJECTIVE: By June 2013, when given a list of ten words the student will be able say the // within the words containing the CVC pattern in isolation (just patterns; not reading word) with 85% accuracy. BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS: Aric is expected to give his looking eyes, his listening ears, and his quiet mouth. I will explain that it is important for him to pay attention to the instructions. I will tell Aric that he is expected to follow along to the lesson, actively participate, and work really hard. OUTLINE OF LESSON: (As appropriate, use the Direct Instruction format & label the parts.) MATERIALS NEEDED Anticipatory set: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tif2a8vXeAA) Before we start todays lesson we are going to watch a video Teacher Materials about the short A sound. Listen, and start singing along if you want! Its Computer a fun song! Document camera White board Objective: Markers Although there were some non-CVC words in that song, today Word lists we are going to learn how to say the // when we see it within the CVC pattern. We are going to be using the recognizing syllable strategy". Rationale: Knowing how to say the // in a CVC pattern will help you to read whole words that contain a CVC pattern. Input: We know how to label the CVC pattern (write the word cat and label pattern underneath word) and also how to recognize a CVC pattern within a word (write bat and bait on the board, then circle the word bat). Today, you are going to learn how to say the // sound within a word that has a CVC pattern. Student Materials Pencil Worksheets

Modeling: (Using the recognizing syllables strategy on page 369, chapter 12, Lerner) (The teacher will be at the document camera) Now, for todays lesson we are going to learn how to say the // sound in words that have the CVC pattern. Watch to see how I decide if the word has the CVC pattern and how I say the // sound. The first one is cab (The teacher will show this word on the document camera, I will say the word but not read it). Looking at the first example, we can tell that the first letter is a consonant, the second letter is a vowel, and the third letter is a consonant. Great, this means that it follows the CVC pattern. Now, this means that when we look at the letter A we say // sound (I will highlight the letter A with a yellow highlighter and then say the // sound aloud). The next one is hat (The teacher will show this word on the document camera, I will say the word but not read it). Looking at this example, we can tell that the first letter is a consonant, the second letter is a vowel, and the third letter is a consonant. Great, this means that it follows the CVC pattern. Now, this means that when we look at the letter A we say // sound (I will highlight the letter A with a yellow highlighter and then say the // sound aloud). The next one is oat (The teacher will show this word on the document camera, I will say the word but not read it). Looking at this example, we can tell that the first letter is a vowel, the second letter is a vowel, and the third letter is a consonant. This means that this word DOES NOT follow the CVC pattern. The next one is fad (The teacher will show this word on the document camera, I will say the word but not read it). Looking at this example, we can tell that the first letter is a consonant, the second letter is a vowel, and the third letter is a consonant. Great, this means that it follows the CVC pattern. Now, this means that when we look at the letter A we say // sound (I will highlight the letter A with a yellow highlighter and then say the // sound aloud). Checking for understanding: Lets try the next one together tap (we will be looking at the word under the document camera). Can you tell me what pattern we are looking for? (The student will say consonant, vowel, consonant or CVC) Great, how can you tell? (The student will say the first letter is a consonant, the second letter is a vowel, and the third letter is a consonant). Great, now how do you say the short a sound in this word we are looking at? (the student will say //). Guided Practice: I am going to give you a list of words and I want you to find the ones that follow the CVC pattern, point to it, and then say the // that is in the word. If you find a word that does follow the pattern I want you to tell me so. If you get confused or have a question, just tell me. (The teacher will be talking and listening to the student as he says the // in each word with a CVC pattern and reinforcing when he is correct. The teacher will also clear up any misconceptions and reteach if necessary). (The list of words will be: cab, sae, cap, oat, fad, ask, gas, gap, hat, mat, map, any, mae, tap, zap) (Words from http://www.scrabble.org.au/words/3sdefs.htm) Independent Practice: I am going to give you a list of words and I want you to find the ones that follow the CVC pattern, point to it, and then say the // that is in the word. If you find a word that does follow the pattern I want you to tell me so. Take your time and really look at each word on the list. (The list of words will be: bat, pad, gae, ham, arm, nap, ate, bar, cab, ark) (Words from http://www.scrabble.org.au/words/3sdefs.htm) Closure:

You learned how to say the // sound in a consonant, vowel, consonant (CVC) patterned word. Thank you for working so hard today! Evaluation: I will be using the independent practice to evaluate my lesson objective. EVALUATION OF OBJECTIVE: By June 2013, when given a list of ten words the student will be able say the // within the words containing the CVC pattern in isolation (just patterns; not reading word) with 85% accuracy.
