Apply the skill (Choose from the activities below)
- Phonological Awareness
- Word Building:
- With word blending cards (see below), have the children make new words by changing the vowel or either of the consonants:
- fly --> fry; spy --> sky; try --> dry; my --> by; pie --> lie; tie --> pie
- fries --> fried; tries --> tried; flies --> flied
- fry --> fries; fly --> flies; try --> tries; spy -->spies
- With word blending cards (see below), have the children make new words by changing the vowel or either of the consonants:
- Word Building:
- Read target words in texts (see below)
- Engage the children in reading the target text Fly, Don’t Land on MY Pie! together as a class/group.
- Read the text again fading support.
- Ask the children to listen for words with the long i sound as you read the text together.
- Have the children make a list of the words with the –ie and –y vowels.
- Repeat with the target text Try Some Fries.
- Write about the activity using target words/patterns
- Give each child a paper and pencil and let them write words from dictation: fly, fry, try, my, by, pie, fries, tries, flies.
- Give each child a paper and pencil and let them write about what they did when they kept a fly from landing on their fries and pies. Have them include these words: try, fry, fly, pie, fries, tries, flies.
