Packet 23

About Decoding and Spelling (Long-Vowel Words with Blends or Digraphs) Long-vowel words can be difficult for children to decode because of

the many different long-vowel spelling patterns. Instruction about the silent-e pattern and other long-vowel patterns (such as ai, ee, ea, oa, and ai) is vital for many children. These spelling patterns were previously introduced in Packets 9 and 10.

Through games and other activities in this packet and in the software, children can practice decoding, writing, and spelling long-vowel words. The focus is on singlesyllable words that contain blends or digraphs.

Packet 23 Objective: Read and spell long-vowel, five-letter words with blends and

digraphs.

Class Activity: Five-Letter Bingo

Materials: Bingo Board (1 copy per child), plastic chips (9 per child), pencils Outcome: Write and read long-vowel, five-letter words with blends and digraphs.

1. On the board, list and discuss the spelling of any nine of these words:

flame shake slice

write stone close

snail reach treat

float drain sleep

? Which words have a silent-e at the end? Is the vowel long or short? ? In the words with side-by-side vowels, which vowel says its name? (Usually "when two

vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.")

2. Distribute Bingo Boards and plastic chips. Explain the rules for Five-Letter Bingo:

? Write the nine words in random order on your Bingo Board. (Children's game boards will not all look alike.)

? Put a plastic chip on each word the teacher pronounces. ? Say "Bingo" if you cover three words horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. ? Continue playing until you cover your entire board.

Worksheet: Word Scramble

Materials: Word Scramble worksheet (1 per child), pencils Outcome: Spell (unscramble) and read words with side-by-side vowels and blends or digraphs.

Children should unscramble the word, write it, and then draw a line to the picture. Remind children to use the pictures as clues about the mixed-up letters.

Extra Help: Provide the hint that each word contains two side-by-side vowels. Going Further: Cut off the picture clues (second column) beforehand. When children finish, show the pictures. Do the unscrambled words match the pictures?
