Lesson 5

LOVING YOUR PARENTS

 In this lesson, you will learn to:
• sequence at least 3 events using signal words;
• use context clues to determine the meaning of
unfamiliar words;
• read words, phrases, poems, or stories with
long vowel usound;
• use clear and coherent sentences employing
appropriate grammatical structures; and
• write 2–3 step directions using signal words.
Listen as your teacher reads the story “Daddy
Doesn’t Want to Play with Me.” Take note of
three most important events in the story.
Using signal words, sequence these events
according to how they occurred in the story.
Signal words
Signal words are words that show connection of
thoughts or logical relationship in a paragraph.
They can be used to signal time and process.
Examples: first, second, then, next, afterward, finally

They can also be used to signal comparison.

Example: also, likewise, but, in the same way, in
contrast, however.

CONTEXT CLUES
As you have learned, a context clue may
appear near a word or phrase and offers direct
or indirect suggestions about its meaning.
Example:
There are squatter problems in the city (context
clue) but homeless families are able to live with it
(phrase that explains the context clue).
Find and encircle the meaning of the underlined
unfamiliar word in each of the following sentences.
1. Father wanted to finish watching this round; the set is not
yet over.
2. The boy shuffled out to the door and dragged his feet
toward his room.
3. Father was irritated with the boy’s constant interruption
and his disruption made him angry.
4. The boy took the magazine apprehensively and was
uneasy at first.
5. The father was stunned, and glanced toward his child.
He was surprised with the fast work of the boy.
A long vowel u sound /oʊ/
A long vowel u sound is pronounced
the same as its letter name.

Sequencing Events Using Signal Words
As you have learned, sequencing
events of a story can be done by using
signal words such as first, then,
afterward, secondly, last, and finally.
Collective and Abstract NOUNS
There are two other kinds of noun aside
from the common and proper nouns. These
are collective nouns and abstract nouns.
A collective noun is a word that, even when
it is singular, names a group of people,
animals, things, and others.
Example: audience, family, batch, team,
class
Mass Nouns and Count Noun
Count nouns are nouns that can be
counted.
Examples: one song, three kings,
five fruits, one hundred visitors
Mass Nouns and Count Noun
Mass nouns are nouns that cannot be
counted because they are always considered
as a group, volume, mass, or quantity.
Examples: a pail of water, a pound of butter,
a liter of oil, a drum of gasoline, a
pile of wood, a grain of sand,
a kilo of rice
Quantifiers of Mass Nouns
Quantifiers are words used to state the
extent or measure of something without
stating the actual number. They answer
questions such as “how many?” and/or
“how much?” (page 41)
Examples:
some, any, a little, a lot of
a bottle of milk, a bag of sugar
