Model Blending Write the words mad, made, bit, bite, not, note, cut, cute, and Steve on the board. Model blending the words sound by sound. Underline the final- e spelling ( a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e, u_e ) in each word containing the long-vowel sound. Point to the spelling and say the sound. Have children repeat.
Cumulative Review: Add a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e, and u_e to your spelling card set to review previously taught sound-spellings. This will aid in mastery. Have children chorally say the sound for each
letter or spelling as you display the card. Note sound-spellings children struggle with and provide additional small-group instruction and practice.
Blend Words Use the digital or print “Blend Words: Final e ” activity to have children chorally blend the words on each line. Model the first two words: hop and hope . Then point to each word, say “whisper read” as children quietly blend the sounds, and then say “all together” as children chorally read the word. Corrective Feedback: Provide corrective feedback as needed. Point to the missed sound- mastery and serve as a good check for fluency and transfer abilities.
spelling and state the spelling and sound, blending the word again. Then have children blend the word. Cumulative Review: Add words with previously taught skills to the Blend Words activity to extend the learning, practice, and application. Use words with skills children have not fully mastered from the previous four to six weeks. This extra repetition will help children gain
Build Word Fluency: Children can use the lists for further independent practice. Assign partners to read the word lists during independent work time while you meet with small groups. Have children complete the Do More! activities, one per day.
DIFFERENTIATION Decodable High-Frequency Words: To support children with additional words to practice reading and writing, share the following decodable high-frequency words, as these will have the most immediate impact on student reading and spelling growth: make, use, white, take, made.
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Vocabulary Support: During small- group time, introduce and/or reinforce the meanings of a few words from the Blend Words activity, such as cube, eve, huge, scrape, stripe, whole . Use actions, pantomime, drawings, pictures, and simple definitions in both English and the child’s home language (using a translation app, if needed).
