This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Dr. Deborah Fuge teach about words with short /u/ and make connections in a story.

Students listen to the poem, "The Brave Bug," and then build short /u/ words with the -un and -ug chunks. As students hear the story, "The Tortoise and the Hare," they make connections to themselves

Students will take a sequence of events or steps for some process and create an algorithm. This could apply to any content area. They will display the algorithm in flowchart form. This activity can be modified for all grade levels and content areas.

Children will segment and blend words orally. They will also learn to sort objects by their beginning sounds: W and P. Letter formation and sound are taught.

Children will practice breaking off the initial sounds in words orally and identify the corresponding letter.

Opening A: I can identify the vowel sounds in spoken words. (RF.1.2)
I can listen to several one-syllable words and identify the short or long vowel sound they contain.
Work Time A: I can examine the spelling of vowel sounds in a printed word and determine the syllable type (closed, open, or magic "e"). (RF.1.3)
I can explain that single-vowel letters in one-syllable words usually have short vowel sounds.
I can explain that in CVCe (consonant, vowel, consonant, silent "e"), one-syllable words ending in final "e," the V (vowel) letter usually has a long vowel sound.
I can decode a word with a vowel in the middle and a silent "e"at the end.
I can identify the five or six types of syllables in written words.
Work Time B: I can examine the spelling of vowel sounds in a printed syllable, determine the syllable type, and use that information to combine it with another syllable to make and read a word (real or nonsense). (RF.1.3)
I can decode a two-syllable word that contains the CVCe vowel pattern.
I can decode (read) two-syllable words by thinking about the syllable type.
