Warm Up Our Ears
Say the sounds; students blend them into a word. Then say a word; students break it apart.
Blend it (teacher says sounds → you say word)
Break it (I say word → you say sounds)

New Concept
Today we review all the vowel teams and diphthongs we've learned and practice reading and spelling big words with them.
Highlighted words are the ones to show and practice reading — tap one to hear it.
We have been learning about vowel teams and diphthongs. When we read and spell words with vowel teams and diphthongs we need to be flexible because the sounds we hear can be spelled different ways and the letters we see can represent different sounds.
Breaking apart big words
When we read and spell big words with vowel teams and diphthongs, we can break them into syllables to help us decode, such as (toi-let), destroy (de-stroy), outside (out-side), and downtown (down-town).
How our mouth moves
Review articulatory gestures for vowels, as needed.
