Taylor Blair 1 December 2013 Phonics Mini Lesson Objective: English Language Arts (2010) K 22.

) Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. b. Associate the long and short sounds with common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels Materials List: ELMO projector, pictures of words used in the introduction, matching worksheets Introduction: Girls you may first make your way to the carpet and then the boys. Today we are going to learn more about the sound that the letter O makes. What two sounds can letter O make? Teacher pauses to allow students to think and respond and the will call on students who would like to share. Yes O makes the long sound oh, and also the short sound aw. Can you think of some words that have the long oh sound? Teacher pauses to allow students to think and respond and the will call on students who would like to share. Show, bow, close, bone and phone are all words that make the long oh sound. Teacher will show a picture of each object to prompt the students to say the word. What words can you think of that make the short o (aw) sound? Teacher pauses to allow students to think and respond and the will call on students who would like to share. Shop, clock, toss, dog, block and mop are all words that make the short o sound! Teacher will show a picture of each object to prompt the students to say the word. Great job, now that we have thought of some example on our own, we are going to learn more about why the O makes different sounds. Girls you may walk back to your seats. Teacher Modeling: Teacher will have a long O word list to present to the class as a whole. Okay boys and girls lets look at the long vowel O sound and what makes the word sound like that. Teacher will read through all of the words having the students repeat after each word. Once they read all of the words the teacher will ask, what do you notice about the ending of all of these words? Teacher pauses to allow students to think and respond and the will call on students who would like to share. Yes! There is an E at the end of each word! This E tells you that the O is going to make the long O sound! Then the teacher will show a list of short O words. Now what do you notice about these words that are different from the ones we just saw? They both have the letter O in them, so why do they sound different? Teacher pauses to allow students to think and respond and the will call on students who would like to share. Very good! There is not E at the end of any of them. All of these words only have consonants at the end, the O is sandwiched between the consonants. Independent Practice: Students will complete a matching worksheet that will show the word on one side and the picture of the word on the other side, and the students will have to match the word with the right picture. One worksheet will only have the long vowel sound words and the second worksheet will only have short vowel words to emphasis repetition of speaking the words.

Assessment: The teacher will have a list of 15 words for the students to read out loud. The list will mix in short O vowel and long O vowel words. As the students read the list of words, the teacher will follow along to see if the student is pronouncing the words correctly. If the student misses 5 out of the fifteen words, the teacher will need to differentiate instruction and work with the students individually.
