Week 1: ReviewVowel Consonant Rule

READ IT!

Short VowelsThere are five vowels in the alphabet. The rest of them are consonants. Vowels are the letters a, e, i, o, and u. The consonants are all of the other letters in the alphabet that aren’t vowels.Vowels can make long or short sounds. This week, we are going to talk about the short sound. SAY IT!

Some examples of words with short vowel sounds are the words cat, step, pin, not, and up. We can tell that a vowel is going to be short when it is followed by another consonant. We call this the vowel consonant rule.DO IT!

Using your highlighter, highlight all of the words that have short vowel sounds in the box below. Example: nest camp

1. bell 6. best2. test 7. pump3. pop 8. bit4. beat 9. pan5. cap 10.nail

Week 1: ReviewOpen Vowels and the Sneaky E

READ IT!

1

Last week we learned that vowels made short sounds. This week we are going to learn about their long sounds. When we say that a vowel is long, what we mean is that the vowel says its own name when you read it.There are different things you can do to make a vowel say its own name. One of those things is when a vowel has nothing behind it at all.SAY IT!

Say the words he and go. Do you hear how long the vowels sound? DO IT! Highlight the words in the box below that have long vowel sounds:

1. bet 5. be

2. not 6. hi

3. me 7. no

4. an 8. we

Sometimes vowels are long because the word has a ‘sneaky e’. If a word has a vowel, then a consonant, then an e, the vowel is long. For example, look at the word bake. Notice that there’s an a, then a k, then a ‘sneaky e’. Because of this pattern, the a says its own name. It is a long vowel. SAY IT!

Here are two more examples of words with the ‘sneaky e’ pattern: frame shine

DO IT!

Highlight the words that have the ‘sneaky e’ pattern in the box below.

1. home 6. cake 2. plane 7. sense 3. shape 8. June 4. cute 9. shine

5. able 10. joke

Week 2: VCCV Rule and Blends

READ IT and SAY IT!

3

A syllable is a word part containing one sound. When we have a word with more than one vowel sound, it tells us that the word contains more than one syllable. Whenever we have a word that contains more than one syllable, we must divide the vowels into syllables. We can usually tell how to break a word up into syllables by looking for the pattern vowel-consonant consonant-vowel. We are going to practice dividing words into syllables.

Let’s look at the word traffic. If you look at the word carefully, you can see the pattern vowel-consonant consonant-vowel. The first part of the word makes up the first syllable. That syllable is ‘traf’. The next syllable is ‘fic’.

traffic v c c v

Week 10: Combination or

READ IT!

A combination is two letters that come together to form an unexpected sound.We see the word or in many words. Where we see it inside of words can change how we read the word. SAY IT!

Let’s look at these two words: sort tractor

16

27

sounds short is if it’s at the beginning of the word. All of the other times you see a y in a word, it acts like a vowel. SAY IT!For example, the y in the word yarn is at the beginning so it sounds short. The y in the word fly is at the end. When it is at the end of a word that has only one syllable, it is a long vowel and says its own name.DO IT!In the box below, highlight the y at the end of each word that has a long y vowel sound.

Week 19: Suffix s and es

READ IT!

A suffix is something that is added to the end of a word that changes the meaning of that word. When we see a suffix on a word, we put a box around it to make sure there is a root word left. There are many suffixes. The suffix we are going to learn about this week is the suffix s. The suffix s means more than one.SAY IT!

Example: dogs When we add the suffix s to dog, it changes the meaning from one dog to more than one dog.

DO IT!

In the box below, highlight the words that have a suffix s. Be careful! All of these words have an s on the end, but not all of them mean more than one.


READ IT!Sometimes, we have to add the suffix es to the end of a word to make it mean more than one.

30

1. mass 5. class

2. maps 6. gross

3. dress 7. pencils

4. cats 8. crayons

If a word ends in s, x, z, sh, or ch we have to add the suffix es to the end of the word to make it mean more than one. *If a word ends in f, we must change the f to a v before we add es. You will also need to change an fe to a v before adding es. *If a word ends in y, we must change the y to an i before we add es. SAY IT!More than one dress = dress esMore than one box = box esMore than one bush = bush esMore than one beach = beach esMore than one elf = elv es ** More than one life = livesMore than one baby = babi esDO IT!In the box below, use what you have learned to decide if you need to put an s or an es at the end of each word to make it mean more than one. Remember, you may need to cross our an f or an I before adding an es.

31

1. kitty ____ 6. buzz ____

2. class ____ 7. puppy ___

3. kite ____ 8. push ____

4. fox _____ 9. knife ____

5. brush ___ 10. peach ____

Week 20: Suffixes ed, ing, less, ish, ist

READ and SAY IT!

A suffix is something added to the end of a word that changes the meaning of the root word. ing – means something is happening right now. Example: Bella is chewing on a bone.less – means without Example: After Bella had her bone taken away, she felt hopeless.ed – means something happened in the past. Example: Bella chewed on the bone yesterday.ist – someone who performs something Example: Bella wants to be an artist when she grows up.ish – have the qualities of Example: Bella felt foolish for falling down the stairs.

DO IT!

In the box below, draw a circle around each suffix.

32

1. clapped 5. boyish

2. organist 6. landed

3. harmless 7. thinking

4. colonist 8. smiling

Week 21:Dropping Rule and Doubling Rule

READ and SAY IT!

If a root word ends with a silent e, drop the e before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel (like ed or ing).Example:

1. slide + ing = sliding Slide has a silent e and the suffix ing begins with a vowel, so

we would drop the e and add the ing.2. tune + less = tuneless

Tune has a silent e, but the suffix less does not begin with a vowel. We would NOT drop the e in this case.

DO IT! Short practice!

When a root word ends in a vowel then a consonant like the words tip, hop, neat, you will need to double the last consonant before adding the vowel suffix. Example: swim = swimmingDO IT! Short practice!

DO IT! In the box below, add the suffix to the root word to form a new word. Make sure that you are making sure to either drop or keep the sneaky e and that you are doubling the consonants if they

33

1. nice + est = _______________2. write + ing = _______________

1. big + er = _______________2. sad + est = _______________

need to be doubled. After you are finished, go over your answers with your partner.

34

1. fade + less = ________________________

2. hot + est = ________________________

3. stop + ed = ________________________

4. ripe + ness = ________________________

5. fine + est = ________________________

6. vote + er = ________________________
