LESSON 60 Variant Vowel /o˘o/ (good, should, pull) continued
• Write the word would on the board. Point out the letters that stand for the variant vowel
sound and ask students to blend the o, u, and l together to make the same vowel sound
as good. Next, run your finger under the letters as you blend the three sounds in would:
w/oul/d. Point out that even though there are five letters, there are three sounds blended
together to form the word. Then have students blend the word aloud with you as you run
your finger under the letters. Invite students to explain the similarities and differences
between the words would and wood.
• Repeat the blending activity with the words wood, bull, and book. Take one word at
a time, pointing out the letter combinations of the variant vowel /o˘o/ sound. When
students have blended the words, ask volunteers to come up and circle the variant
vowel letter combination in each word. Have a student point to each variant vowel letter
combination as the rest of the group says the sound. Remind students that the double
consonant at the end of the word bull stands for the /l/ sound.
• If students need more work with blending words, have them use the letter/vowel
workmat, one of each variant vowel /o˘o/ card, and the letter cards to blend the words
above. Have students line up the card for each sound in each word under the boxes on
their workmat. Group the words according to each variant vowel letter combination so
that students know which variant vowel /o˘o/ card to use for each word. Model how to
push up the variant vowel /o˘o/ card into the box on the workmat and indicate the sound
the variant vowel letter combination makes. Have students push up and sound out the
remaining letters of each word in order on their workmat.

5 Take out the cards and replace the ook card with the ould card. Have students name

letters s and h together make the /sh/ sound. Have students listen while you model
sounding out the word by blending the sound in the onset with the sounds in the
rime: sh/ould. Have students repeat.
6 Replace the sh card with the c card. Repeat the process with the new word.
7 Take out the cards and replace the ould card with the ull card. Have students name
the new word family. Place the f card in front of ull. Have students listen while you
model sounding out the word by blending the sound in the onset with the sounds in
the rime: f/ull. Have students repeat.
8 Replace the f card with the p card. Repeat the process with the new word.
9 Take out the cards and replace the ull card with the ush card. Have students name
the new word family. Place the b card in front of ush. Have students listen while you

the rime: b/ush. Have students repeat.
0 Replace the b card with the p card. Repeat the process with the new word.
Sort Words
Materials: Word-family cards, word cards
• Place the word-family cards on the top row of a pocket chart or along the ledge of a
chalkboard. Ask volunteers to come up one at a time, select a word card, say the word,
and place it under the correct word family. Continue until all the word cards are placed
correctly. Once all the words have been sorted, have students read aloud the words
under each word family, pointing to the letters that stand for the variant vowel sound
in each word.

Practice Decoding
Materials: Decodable book A Good Day for Fishing, practice sheet
• For students who seem to have a grasp of decoding variant vowel /o˘o/ words and
previously taught decodable and high-frequency words, provide extra practice with
the text by allowing them to independently read:
the practice sheet
the decodable book A Good Day for Fishing
• Some students may benefit from having the decodable book introduced and pre-taught
before they read the book. Strategies might include introducing and practicing
high-frequency words used in the book, teaching special word structures, and doing
a book walk.
NOTE: See the “Elements Used in This Book” section, found at the start of the
decodable book, for a list of words and skills covered in the book. Pre-teach these
elements as necessary.
• Show students the cover of the book. Have them read the title with you as you run your
finger under each word. Ask students what they see in the picture and what they think
the story might be about. Ask a student to point to the letters that stand for the variant
vowel sound in the word Good.
• Give students a copy of the book. Have them preview the pictures and predict the story.
When they get to page 8, ask them what the boy might catch next and whether or not
he will keep fishing.
• Have students read the book. You may want them to whisper read so you can monitor
their progress. When they have finished reading, take time to discuss the book and check
for understanding. Ask students what effect giving the man the boots had on the boy.
