State and Model the Objective
The children will compare short- and long-vowel words (e.g., lick vs. like) as they decide if they like to lick a candy stick or want to bite a bit of cake.
Literacy Activities
Would you lick or bite it?
- Contrast some short- and long-vowel word pairs written on the board (e.g., lick vs. like, bit vs. bite, mad vs. made, sit vs. site).
- Tell the children that there are foods that they can lick and foods that they can bite.
- Let the children think of foods they would like to lick or get a bit to bite.
- Display the Lick vs. Bite chart (found below)
- Ask the children if they would like to lick or get a bit of the foods listed on the chart to bite.
- Make a check in each cell of the chart that corresponds to the food that most children would like to lick or get a bit to bite.
More Practice
Read contrasting short- and long-vowel words
- Create a T-chart to contrast short- and long-vowel words by labeling one side Short-vowel words and labeling the other side Long-vowel words.
- Place a short- and long-vowel word pair from the set of word cards (found below) in the T-chart.
- Have the children place more word pairs from the set of word cards in the columns or write short- and long-vowel word pairs from dictation.
Match short-vowel to long-vowel words
- Demonstrate how to do the Matching Word Pairs handout (found below) where the children will match short-vowel words to their long-vowel counterpart.
- Let the children, in pairs or small groups, match the pairs on the handout. Assist as needed.
Engage the children in interactive reading of texts
- Read the What Do You Like to Lick? target text to the children.
- Engage the children in reading the target text with you.
- Ask the children to read the text independently.
- Have the children take turns reading the text to a partner in paired reading.
- Read the Lick Drips from Sticks and Cones target text to the children
- Invite the children to read Lick Drips from Sticks with you.
- Read the text again, fading support.
- Invite the children to circle short-vowel words and draw a box around long-vowel words in the displayed text.
