Our spelling program this year will focus on vowel patterns and how syllables are put together to make multi-syllabic words. We will study prefixes and suffixes as well. "Three Cheers for Phonics" This is a program in which we have a cheer to go along with each syllable pattern rule. The syllable patterns are: closed syllable (cvc) Closed syllables have ONE vowel (short sound) that is closed in at the end by a consonant. (our cheer: You find short vowels in CLOSED syllables!) Types of closed syllable words: FLOSS WORDS: f, l, s, or z are DOUBLED in a closed syllable CK words: You use the ck RIGHT after a short vowel TCH words: You use the tch, RICHT after a short vowel (our cheers are the same as the rules above)
open syllables(CV) Open syllables have ONE vowel at the end that is NOT closed in by a consonant. (ex: no, me) (our cheer: When you open up the door, the vowel is free. He calls his name as LOUD AS CAN BE!)
silent e syl;lable (CV) Silent e syllables are closed syllables with an 'e' at the end. The 'e' is silent, but the vowel in the middle changes from a short vowel sound to a long vowel sound. (same) (Our cheer: Silent E you're to blame you make that vowel say its name!) Two-vowel talkers (ai, ay, ee, ea, oa, oe, ue) Two vowels side by side - the first one makes the LONG vowel sound (bait, beam, say, boat, toe) (our cheer: Two vowels side by side the firs one says its name with PRIDE!) Two-vowel whiners (oi,oy,au,aw,ou,ow, eu, ew, ui, oo) Two vowels side by side - they do not make the LONG vowel sound (sound, now, sauce, boy, boil) (Our cheer: Two vowels doing fine, they have a fight and start to whine!) Bossy-r (er, ir, ur, or, ar) A vowel followed by an 'r' which changes the vowel sound (Our cheer: er, ir, ur, say IR, IR, IR! or says 'or' What are you waiting for? AR says 'ar' Like a shining star!)
STUDENTS WILL BE GETTING A BOOKLET WITH THE VOWEL PATTERNS AND SPELLING RULES TO USE AT HOME.
