1/3 of the group time
Materials: Reader #56 p.6-7,Manual p.223, Toolbox Decks 33,34, 35, and 36.
Objective: TLW sound out y making the Long asound.
Teacher’s Note-In Lessons 56-58, three sounds for the letter y are taught. The Reader contains many words for practice; however there are no Card Decks. If students know Short Vowels, Long Vowels,R-Controlled Vowels and how to switch vowels so that the context MAKES SENSE, then students will not need a great deal of repetition for the three sounds of the letter y. If students have trouble sounding out words with the letter y at the end in text, then make a Card Deck for practice.
Procedure: The teacher introduces the y making the Long a sound when it ends words. “When you see a word ending with the letters ay, most of the time this ay makes the sound of Long a.” The teacher writes a few examples either on the board or on index cards. Students then practice sounding new words with the letters ay at the end.
Review and practice pages 6 and 7.
Assessment- Page 6
The teacher will select four words from column one or two. Students will take turns sounding out words.
