OverviewGoal of Instruction

The goal of this literacy unit on identifying medial vowels in consonant vowel consonant words is for 80% of students to be able to correctly identify the medial vowel with 90% accuracy when observed reading and writing.Materials Needed for Your Unit of Instruction

Materials needed for this unit will be:Instructional Materials:

AudienceThe intended audience are the above mentioned kindergarten students for whom this is their first year of school. Being a kindergarten classroom, this unit will be taught during the literacy block of each day the unit requires, which is 18 days.

Lesson Overview, Details and Assessments

The unit begins and ends with the same assessments. Students will be assessed individually first in spelling consonant vowel consonant words followed by a reading assessment. When beginning the assessment, the teacher must read the directions to the student. For the spelling assessment, “ Say the name of each picture, below the picture, write the word how you think it is spelled. If you need do

not know what the picture is, let me know and I will tell you” For the reading assessment, directions are as follows: “ On

this sheet of paper, there are several words, please read me the word the best you can.” The teacher will then document how the word is read on a separate copy of the test. For example if a student reads “bag” as “beg” you would transcribe “beg” and mark it incorrect as the vowel was mixed up.

In each assessment, students will be graded on whether they correctly identified the medial vowel of the word. Each assessment should take roughly five minutes per student. The assessments are the same to provide growth data for

4

teachers.The formative assessments for this unit will be the daily sort

activities for each vowel. Students will be sorting long and short vowel sound pictures cards into the correct columns.

Lessons and Assessments at a Glance

Task Analysis with Supporting Performance ObjectivesTask 1.0 Vowels have two sounds

1.1. Long A1.2. Short A

Performance Objective 1: Given a set of picture cards with long and short a medial vowel sounds, students will be able to correctly identify and sort the pictures based on the use of phonemic awareness to identify the medial sound a minimum of 9 out of 10 times. Lesson 1: This lesson should take a 40 minute block repeated for 2 days. This time will include the pre-activities, content presentation, learner presentation assessment and a brain break. To begin the lesson, we will sing the alphabet song and find the letter A on an alphabet chart. After the alphabet chart, as a class we will generate a list of words that have the /a/ sound, writing the long and short vowel sounds in two different colors for later reference.

Follow the pre-activities with the viewing of the Have Fun Teaching Letter A video and song. After the video, ask “Does anyone know why we had two different sounds for A?” After generating answers, introduce the concept of long and short vowel sounds. Short a is the sound we commonly hear, like in “cat” long a makes the vowel say its own name! Like in cake.

Students will have several opportunities to contribute to a long and short a

To begin the lesson, we will sing the alphabet song and find all five vowels on an alphabet chart. After the alphabet chart, as a class we will review the difference between a long and short vowel, generating examples with a turn and talk partner.Step 2: Content Presentation

We will review letter O and the word chart we made, then letter U. With emphasis on how your mouth moves when saying

each sound, we will discuss the differences in sounds. When saying the /o/ sound your mouth opens and creates an

o shape. To say the /u/ sound, your mouth has to be relaxed and slightly opened. We will then reread the charts and emphasizing making the sounds with our mouths, turning to a partner several times to practice. Step 3: Learner Participation

Students will have several opportunities to turn and talk to a partner as well as model for the whole group creating the different vowel sounds. Prior to being dismissed students have a brain break with Jack Hartmann DVDStep 4: Assessment

Students will be completing a long/short vowel picture sort Appendix F and E. They will be cutting out pictures of words that either belong in a /o/ column or a /u/ column. After completing, I will review the sort and any changes needed must be done. Day 2, students may be chosen to either participate in the listening center or go to starfall.com instead of the sort.Step 5: Follow-Through Activities

We will be referring back to vowel sounds of o and u as it appears in reading as well as writing.
