1. State Standards (InTASC 4 & 7)
Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes)
The criterion for successful learning is: If students can break up words and make the correct sounds of blends and
digraphs.
3. Learning Target (InTASC 4 & 7)
I can understand that 2 or more letters in a word can come together to make a new sound.
B. Direct Instruction
- “Sometimes if you try to sound out a word reading it letter by letter, it won’t sound right. That’s because there
are letters that go together to make a different sound. These are called special combinations. Let’s look at some
now”
- Show Powerpoint slide with different vowel sounds and point them out in the words (with pictures)
- After going through each ask if there are any other words with those sounds.
- Then explain that there is a lot more than just those.
C. Teacher Modeling
- Give them a blends and digraphs chart
- Go through each and the sounds each of them make
- Begin “Are you my mother?” by P.D. Eastman and have them raise their hand once they notice a special
combination.
- Stop it and find out what they find.
- They will already have book bins with their little paper books that we have already read through together and
point to ones that they see with a partner.
E. Formative Assessment
- Give them a page of sight words and ask them to underline the special combinations that they recognize without
using the sheet. (If they aren’t able to get any they can work with a partner or use the sheet)
F. Closure
- Students who still aren’t grasping it will work with a paraprofessional and practice more.
- students who do get it will move on to writing these on their own.
The teacher will assess the students one-on-one by having the student point out where the special combinations are,
what they sound like, and what the word is.
