Phoneme: A phoneme is a sound, not a letter. Spoken words are made up of one or more phonemes.

Grapheme: Letters or letter combinations that spell sounds.

Short vowel sounds: The first phonemes in these words are short vowels. •apple, edge, itch, octopus, up

Procedure

1. Havestudentsopentopage1intheirworkbooks.Youwilluseyourowncopyoftheworkbooktofacilitatethe activity.

2. Callonanonestudenttoreadarowofthreewordsaloud.3. All other students are Checkers:

a. Checkers mark Reader’s errors in their own workbooks.b. After Reader finishes, Checkers hold up fingers to indicate the number of words read correctly.c. Ifallthreewordswerereadcorrectly,congratulateReader on reading accurately.d. IfReadermisreadsanywords,followPositiveErrorCorrectionprocedure(seebelow).

4. Callonanotherstudenttoreadarowofthreewordsaloud.Repeatuntilallstudentshavereadatleasttworows of words.

Positive Error Correction

1. Tell Reader the number of words in the row read accurately.2. One Checker identifies which word was misread by saying “first,” “middle,” or “last,” without saying the

word itself.3. Reader uses Touch & Say to read the misread word(s).

a. IfReader reads the word correctly, thank student and have him/her reread the entire row correctly. b. IfReader misses any words again:

i. Checkers assist by using Touch & Say to chorally read the word(s). ii. Reader independently uses Touch & Say to read the word(s) correctly.iii. Reader reads all three words again. iv. Reader aims to read another row of words accurately in the first attempt.

* Try to finish with the Reader reading all three words correctly.

Suggestions for Differentiation

1. Studentscanfindwordswiththephonicsconceptsthatneedmoreattention.Forexample,studentscanfindall the words that begin or end with digraph sh or with the letter b. This can be done as a timed activity:a. Use a timer and tell all students when to begin.b. All students search independently for the words containing the target phonics concept (digraph sh, the

letter b,etc.).Havestudentsunderlinethegraphemestheyarelookingforastheyfindthem.c. The first person to finish reads all the words containing the target phonics concept aloud. The student

who finishes first and has found and read all the words with 100-percent accuracy is the winner.2. Studentscanfindrhymingwords.Forexample,havestudentsfindallthewordsthatrhymewithcash, hop,

Overview

Sounds&Syllablesisaone-on-oneteacherandstudentactivity.Ideally,thisactivityisdoneinaquietsettingsothe teacher can hear the student read. Students read rows of graphemes and syllables aloud and the teacher checks reading accuracy. Sounds & Syllables helps students improve their recognition and accurate reading of individual graphemes and syllables.

Materials

• Phonics Boost Plus Student Workbook 1• Pencils

Procedure

1. Trade workbooks with the student. Student needs a clean copy to read from while you mark in his/her workbook. Both student and teacher open to page 2 in their workbooks.

2. Point to the top section of the Sounds & Syllables sheet. Remind the student that if a vowel is by itself, the studentshouldreaditasashortvowelsound.Inlatermodules,studentsshouldreadallpossiblesoundsmadeby the graphemes (e.g., sounds of y, ow, ea, etc.).

Positive Error Correction

1. Tell Reader the number of graphemes or syllables read accurately in the row.2. Point to the misread grapheme or syllable without saying it aloud.3. Reader reads the misread grapheme again or uses Touch & Say to read the misread syllables(s).

a. IfReader reads the grapheme or syllable correctly, thank Reader and have him/her reread the entire row correctly.

b. IfReader misses any graphemes or syllables again:i. Assist by reading the grapheme(s) correctly or using Touch & Say to read the syllable(s) correctly. ii. Reader then independently reads the grapheme(s) correctly or uses Touch & Say to read the

syllable(s) correctly.iii. Reader reads all graphemes or syllables in the row again. iv. Reader aims to read another row of graphemes or syllables accurately in the first attempt.

* Try to finish with the Reader reading all four graphemes or syllables correctly.

Suggestions for Differentiation

1. Ifstudentsareaccuratebutslow,timethemwhiletheyreadthegraphemesandsyllables.Havethemrereadthe page multiple times, working on increasing their speed with each read. Remember that the focus is always accuracy over speed, even while working on increased automaticity.

2. Mix the order in which the students read the graphemes and syllables. Point to the graphemes and syllables at random and have students read them aloud. This ensures that students are not aided by their memory of the order in which they previously read the graphemes and syllables.

Module 1 | Word Sort

10 | Phonics Boost Plus | © 2012 Really GReat ReadinG®

Overview

Word Sort helps students focus on specific phonics concepts in words as they decode and sort. Students work on their decoding skills and critical thinking skills to find similarities and differences in the words’ structures, spellings of sounds, suffixes, and more. Students physically group word cards into different categories in this multisensory activity. Students can complete Word Sort individually and independently.

Materials

• WordSortactivitysheet(page12ofthisteacher’sguide)• Scissors• Glueortape(optional)

Procedure

1. Prepare for the Word Sort activity:a. Photocopy and distribute one copy of the Word Sort activity sheet to each student.b. Students cut the words and group titles into individual cards. The group title cards are gray, and the word

cards are white. c. Students place the group titles on the working surface with enough space below to place additional cards

in each column. d. Checktoseethatthestudentshavetheirworkingsurfacessetupcorrectly.

2. CompletetheWordSortactivity:a. Readthegrouptitlesaloud(Digraphs,NoDigraphs)sostudentsknowhowtheywillbesorting

d. Students complete the rest of the Word Sort independently. e. Checkanswerswithstudents.f. Haveeachstudentreadthewordstoyouorapartner.g. When the sorting is completed correctly, students can glue or tape the group titles and words on a

separate sheet of paper.

Alternate Word Sort Procedures

1. Written Word Sort: Students write the group titles at the top of a sheet of paper. They then write the words in the appropriate column under the correct title. When all the words are written, the student reads the words aloud to you or a partner.

2. Highlight Word Sort: After cutting apart the cards, students read each word and highlight or underline thetargetphonicsconceptsfromthatmoduleinthewords.Forexample,inModule1,studentsunderlinethe digraphs in the words that have them. Students then complete the Word Sort.

Suggestions for Differentiation

1. Students can brainstorm other words with or without digraphs, spell those words on additional cards, and sort them in the appropriate groups.

2. Students can find the words that are nouns. They can choose one noun to use in a sentence and draw a picture that shows the meaning of the word.

3. Students can sort the words according to their part of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs). 4. Studentscanbrainstormalternativewaystosorttheirwords.Forexample,theycansortthewordsbytheir

vowel sound, by their initial consonant letter, or by which digraph they contain. Students make new group titles and sort the words accordingly.

© 2012 Really GReat ReadinG® | Phonics Boost Plus | 13

Overview

The Word Building partner activity gives students a chance to practice sound to symbol correspondence by matching letter tiles to color tiles representing the sounds in words. Students work in pairs. One partner reads words for the other partner to spell.

When students progress to reading multisyllable words, this activity changes so that students spell words on SyllaBoards, rather than with color and letter tiles.

Materials

• WordBuildingactivitysheet(page15ofthisteacher’sguide)• Scissors• WorkingwhiteboardandholdingboardwithletterandcolortilesfromtheStudentPhonicsKit• LetterTilesOnline(optional)

Procedure

1. Prepare for the Word Building activity:a. Students form pairs and sit across from each other at a desk or table.b. Photocopy and distribute one copy of the Word Building activity sheet to each pair.c. One student in each pair cuts the page in half vertically. Students decide who will be Partner A and

who will be Partner B and take the appropriate half of the page.d. Each student takes out the working whiteboard and holding board with letter and color tiles from

his/herStudentPhonicsKit.2. CompletetheWordBuildingactivity:

a. Partner A explains that he/she will read words for Partner B to build with color and letter tiles.b. Partner A reads the first word, bath, uses it in a sentence, and then reads the word again.c. Partner B spells the word aloud, repeats it, and stretches the sounds: /b/ /ă/ /th/. Partner B places one

color tile on his/her working whiteboard for each of the three sounds in bath. Partner B then spells each sound with one letter tile on the working whiteboard and shows it to Partner A.

d. PartnerAchecksthatPartnerBhasspelledthewordcorrectly.IfPartnerBmakesamistake,PartnerAfollowsthePositiveErrorCorrectionprocedure(seebelow).

e. Partner A repeats these steps so Partner B can spell the remaining four words.f. Partner B then follows steps a-d, so Partner A can build five words. Partner B checks that each word is

spelledcorrectlyandfollowsthePositiveErrorCorrectionprocedureifPartnerAmakesamistake.

Positive Error Correction

1. Ifastudentmisspellsanywords,thestudent’spartnerprovidesPositiveErrorCorrection.2. Partner A tells Partner B which sounds were spelled correctly. 3. Partner A repeats the word, and Partner B listens for the misspelled sound(s).4. Partner B corrects the spelling by changing one or more letter tiles.5. Ifnecessary,PartnerAidentifiesthemisspelledsoundandspellingforPartnerB.6. Partner B uses Touch & Say independently to read the word correctly.7. Always finish with Partner B using Touch & Say independently to verify that the word is spelled correctly.

Suggestions for Differentiation

1. Students can use their dry erase markers to write a definition of each word on their working whiteboard after theyspellit.Havestudentssharedefinitionstomakesuretheyarecorrect.

2. Students can identify the part of speech of each word after they spell it.3. After spelling each word, students can think of new words that can be made by swapping out only one letter

tile.Forexample,PartnerBcancreatethewordwish by swapping out the d in dish for a w, or Partner A can create the word rash by swapping out the u in rush for an a.

Overview

TheSentenceHuntpartneractivityprovidesdecodingpracticeandhelpsstudentsbuildtheirvocabulary. Students search for specific words in three sentences to answer the prompts asked by their partner. By working in pairs, students have the ability to become the teacher and provide positive feedback. Students must read sentences, analyzethevariousphonicsfeaturesofthewordsinthesentences,andthinkaboutwordmeaningsandpartsofspeech. The sentences contain decodable words with phonics patterns the students learned in the corresponding Phonics Boostlessonsuptoandincludingthecurrentmodule,aswellaswordsofftheDolchlistsofthe220mostfrequentlyusedwordsandthe95mostcommonlyusednouns.

Examples: ship, math, chop, Phil, whim

Double Trouble Rule: In a one syllable word, double the final f, l, or s after a single vowel.

miss

Examples: puff, sell, miss

Chunk -all: l forms a chunk that spells the sound that you hear in the word “ball.”

Examples: tall, call, fall

all

Module 19

When to Use Module 19Students should work on Module 19 activities if they have not yet mastered the concepts taught in Phonics Boost Lessons 46-47.

There are several ways to identify which students are good candidates for Phonics Boost Plus Module 19: 1. Use the Phonics Boost Skills Assessment (PBSA) 19.2. Use More Words to Read and Sounds & Syllables from this module to determine a student’s mastery. 3. Observe students during Phonics Boost instruction and practice.

Module 19 ActivitiesPhonics Boost Plus Student Workbook 1:

• MoreWordstoRead• Sounds&Syllables• PhrasestoRead• WhichSyllableIsWhich?• FillItIn!• SolveIt!• FlipIt!

Phonics Boost Plus Teacher’s Guide 1:

• WordSort• WordBuildingpartnerpage• WordHuntpartnerpage• SplitIt!• WordSwat

Open syllable: A syllable that ends in a single vowel letter with a long vowel or schwa sound. •ta-ble, e-ven, si-lent, o-ver, mu-sic, pres-i-dent

Open and closed syllables before consonant-le: When you see a two syllable word with second syllable being a consonant-le, look closely at the first syllable: •Ifthesyllableendswithaconsonant,thevowel

will be short. • little, sample, juggle

•Ifthesyllableendswithavowel,thevowelwill be long.

•title, staple, bugle

•Ifthewordhasthreeormoresyllables,the vowel sound in the open syllable before the consonant-le may be long or schwa.

•obstacle, unable, article

Reminders:

Phonics Concepts

• Open syllables in words with three or more syllables

• Consonant-le with open syllables

the activity.2. One student reads a row of three words aloud while other students are Checkers.3. Remember to use Positive Error Correction if the student makes a mistake.4. To extend the activity, have students find all the words where the vowel sound in the open syllable is long a,

long e, long i, long o, or long u,orallthewordswithtwo,three,four,orfivesyllables.Havestudentsunderlinethe open syllables in these words.

5. Ifstudentsstruggletodecodemultisyllablewords,havethemdividethewordsintosyllablesbylookingforthe vowel letters and drawing a line at the syllable breaks. Students can read each syllable individually and then blend them to read the whole word.

6. See pages 2-3 for full directions, steps for Positive Error Correction, and Suggestions for Differentiation.

Sounds & Syllables1. Trade workbooks with student to mark errors in his/her workbook. 2. Both teacher and student open to page 146 in their workbooks. 3. Haveeachstudentreadthegraphemes,isolatedsyllables,andsyllablesinnonsensewordsaloudtoyou

individually. Be sure students read both the short and long vowel sounds for individual vowel letters and all three sounds spelled by the letter y. Be sure students read the open syllables in sections two and three with a long vowel sound. Alternatively, complete the activity with the full class by calling on a different student to read each row of sounds and syllables.

4. Remember to use Positive Error Correction if the student makes a mistake.5. Seepages4-5forfulldirections,stepsforPositiveErrorCorrection,andSuggestionsforDifferentiation.

Phrases to Read1. Havestudentsopentopage147intheirworkbooks.Youwilluseyourowncopyoftheworkbooktofacilitate

the activity.2. Students form pairs, trade books, and determine who will be the first Reader.3. Reader reads the phrases in Column 1, while Checker marks errors and records the number of phrases read

correctly. Students switch roles for Column 1 so Reader becomes Checker, and Checker becomes Reader.4. Both students read the phrases in Column 2, again taking turns as Reader and Checker.5. RemembertohaveCheckers use Positive Error Correction if Readers make a mistake.6. To extend the activity, have students find all the words where the vowel sound in the open syllable is long a,

long e, long i, long o, or long u,orallthewordswithtwo,three,four,orfivesyllables.Havestudentsunderlinethe open syllables in these words.

Word Sort1. Photocopy and distribute one copy of the Word Sort activity sheet (page 326 of this teacher’s guide) to

each student. 2. Students cut apart group title and word cards and set up their working surfaces.3. Explain to students that they will sort the words into five groups based on the vowel sound in the open

syllable: Long a, Long e, Long i, Long o, or Long u. 4. Model how to sort the first word in each group: cradle in the Long a /ā/ group, vehicle in the Long e /ē/

group, title in the Long i /ī/ group, exploded in the Long o /ō/ group, and popular in the Long u /yōō/ group.

5. Checkthatallstudentssortthefirstfivewordscorrectly.6. Students complete the rest of Word Sort independently. 7. Check answers with students, and have each student read the words to you or a partner.8. See pages 10-11 for full directions and Suggestions for Differentiation.

Word Building1. Students form pairs, cut the Word Building activity sheet (page 328 in this teacher’s guide) in half vertically,

and determine who will be Partner A and Partner B.2. Partner A reads each word on Partner Page A, uses it in a sentence, and reads it again. Partner B repeats

the word, says it in syllables, spells each syllable on a SyllaBoard, and writes the word on his/her working whiteboard.

3. Partner B then reads each word on Partner Page B, uses it in a sentence, and reads it again. Partner A repeats the word, says it in syllables, spells each syllable on a SyllaBoard, and writes the word on his/her working whiteboard.

4. Remember to have students use Positive Error Correction if their partner makes a mistake.5. Seepages129-130forfulldirections,stepsforPositiveErrorCorrection,andSuggestionsforDifferentiation.

the activity.2. Read the three syllables in the first word: par, ti, and cle. Lead students in determining the syllable types

for these three syllables. Explain that par is an r-controlled syllable because it has the r-controlled vowel spelling ar, ti is an open syllable because ends in one vowel letter that spells the schwa sound, and cle is a consonant-le syllable. Students point to these three syllables filled in for them in the chart. Remind students to write “schwa” (or they can write an “s” for “schwa”) in the box next to ti.

3. Students complete the remaining lines of the chart, reading the syllables in the first column, determining the syllable type for each, and writing each syllable in the appropriate column. Remind students to write “long” or “schwa” next to the open syllables to show which type of vowel sound they spell.

4. Check answers with students. 5. Haveeachstudentreadthewordsandtheirsentencestoyouorapartner.6. See pages 312-313 for full directions and Suggestions for Differentiation.

Before beginning this module, here is a reminder of what we have learned:

Vowels:

Consonants: All the letters of the alphabet except a, e, i, o, u.

Phoneme: A phoneme is a sound, not a letter.

Grapheme: Letters or letter combinations that spell sounds.

Short Vowel Sounds: The first phonemes in these words make short vowel sounds.

Examples: apple, edge, itch, octopus, up

qu: The letter q is always followed by u.

The u in qu never acts as a vowel. It is part of the consonant spelling.

There is only one acting vowel in quit .

Digraphs: Two consonant letters that spell one sound.

Examples: ship, math, chop

Closed Syllable: One vowel letter followed by one or more consonant letters.

bash

Examples: at, bash, path, let

qu
