READING POWER 20 MIN Word-Reading Skill Review
In this lesson, you will review the word-reading skill with campers. In the following lesson, campers will play a game to practice the skill, strengthen comprehension, and demonstrate understanding. Spell and Say Words with Open-Vowel Syllables Remind campers that words are made up of parts called syllables . Say: Each syllable contains one vowel sound. Being able to identify different types of syllables can help you pronounce and read longer words. Display and read aloud the word revise . Point out that the first syllable ends with the vowel e , which makes the long- e sound. Say: Remember, when a syllable ends with a single vowel, the vowel sound is usually long. Let’s blend the sounds in this syllable together: /r/ /ē/. (Slowly blend the phonemes exaggerating the long /ē/ sound, re.) Say: An open syllable ends with a vowel and the vowel makes a long sound. Follow a similar routine with the second syllable in revise . Point out the long i and silent e . Then run your hand under each syllable in revise as you blend the syllables to say the word. Repeat as necessary with other words ( hero , tidy ).

Reading Fluency For the fluency practice, you may use the decodable passage and routines provided here or choose a passage from the book and the fluency routine that works best for your group. The twins like a lot of the same things. They like music, dogs, playing in grass, and having names that begin with C . But being twins does not make them the exact same. Callie likes to chat a lot and play pretend. Charlie can be really quiet. It seems like words remain locked inside him. He still has ways of expressing himself. He smiles right at Callie. He even lets her feel his face and hold his hands in a silly game. But, when she banged her toe, he sat beside her. He patted her back, and said, “I love you.” His speech became unlocked!
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Pair more-fluent with less- fluent readers. Review the passage and clarify any confusion. Encourage campers to use gestures to perform the characters’ actions and exaggerated facial expressions to convey what characters are thinking and feeling.
