Spelling Monster
Beginning
Reading
Rationale:
The
students will practice spelling with short vowel letters and
consonants. This
will help the children see how words are formed and it allows them the
opportunity to teach themselves as they develop their own individual
notions
about spelling. This lesson will improve the child's ability to decode
when
reading.
Materials: Primary paper and pencil, Letter boxes for all students,
Word list-jam,
ham, had, sad, sat, sit, hit, it ,in for each student, Individual word
list for
each student, and a class set of decodable books.(Pat's Jam)
Procedure:
1.The teacher should introduce the lesson to the class by saying "Today
class, we're going to practice spelling words. All words are important;
they
are all playing a part in telling a message. We would not be able to
talk to
each other without words. Our parents won't be able to ask us what kind
of ice
cream we want, we wouldn't be able to write our friends a letter, and
most
importantly, we wouldn't be able to read our favorite books over and
over
again. Today, we will spell words and then read them. We are going to
make all
kinds of words with all these letters. Today we will work on the a,i, sounds. I need every ones attention
so that we can all spell our letters right.
2. The teacher should now hand out the letter boxes and the letters to
the
students. Now the teacher should model to the students what they will
be doing
before going on. This is the word hat, can we all say hat. Remember the
a makes the "aaaaaa" sound
like a crying baby. Now the teacher should remove the letter h and
replace it
with a c. Now I have made the letter cat, do can we all say cat.
3. Now you are going to spell some letters on your own, while I help
you. I am
going to give you some letters to make a word, and I am going to tell
you where
to place them in the boxes to make a word. Now, I want you to put an
"a"
in the middle of j and m. Remember a makes the sound like a baby
crying. Now
what word does this spell? jam Can we all say it. Now I want you to
take the j away
and put a h down. Now what word does
this spell? ham Can we all say it.
Now I want everyone to take the m off and put down a d. What word is
this? had Can we all say it. Now take off the
h and put an s to spell this type of emotion. What word is this? sad Can we all say it. Now take off the
d and put a t. What does this spell now? sat
Can we all say it. Now can we take out the a
in the middle and put down an i.
Remember the i makes the iiiiii sound
like the itsy bitsy spider. Now what word is this? sit
Can we all say it. Now take off the s and put and h. What word
do we have now? hit Now see if you
can make the word it. Wait to see if they can do it. Did we all take
off the h?
Now can we take off the t, and put a
n. Can we all say it. in
4. Now the teacher should pass out Pat's Jam, primary paper and pencil
to every
student for reading. The teacher should then give a book talk about
Pat's Jam to the
children. Once finish, ask the children to read it and write down the
words on the primary paper that we spelled today.
5. For assessment, pass out the word list, and ask every child to
change one
letter in each word to make a new word.
