State the Objective:
Tell the children that they will have an adventure with a dog, frog, and hog as they read and write words that end in og, such as log, hog, jog, and bog.

Literacy Activities
Pretend to be a dog, frog, and hog

• Tell the children that a dog, frog, and hog sit on a log in a bog.
• Explain that a hog is a pig, and a bog is a wet and muddy place.
• Comment on how frog, dog, hog, and log rhyme.
• Read the Frog, Dog, and Hog on a Log target text (see below).
• Select children to pretend to be a dog, frog, and hog.
• Have the children sit on a pretend log (e.g., a folded towel, blanket, or bench) as they act out the story. 

Blend and segment -og words

• Teach the children to blend word parts:
  • Clap as you produce the initial consonant or blend (e.g., d), the -og ending, and the word (dog).
  • Blend other og words:
    • d + og = dog
    • h + og = hog
    • l + og = log
    • fr + og = frog
• Write -og words (e.g., hog, log, fog, bog, jog) in a list and read them by saying each sound as you move your finger along the word from left to right.

Read target words in a text

• Display the Frog, Dog, and Hog on a Log target text.
• Have the children find the words that end in og.

• Re-read the text, letting the children read the -og words. 

   

Practice writing target words

• Create a list of -og words, such as dog, hog, jog, log, and bog.
• Have the children read the words.
• Let the children write -og words from dictation.
