Using Construct-a-Word, students learn letter-sound correspondence by combining a beginning letter or blend to a word ending to create words.
The measurable goal and curricular aim of this lesson are for students to be able to fluently retrieve words in spelling patterns, and correctly spell both irregularly-spelled grade-appropriate words and words with vowel and consonant-blend patterns. The three activities in this lesson plan enables students to use the knowledge they have learned in class to complete. Students have an individual assesment at the end to write their own story incorporating the concepts from this lesson.
Students tell their life stories in this lesson about autobiographies based on family photographs.
This online activity helps students recognize word patterns by having them sort a series of words into short-vowel word families.
