It is terrific Tuesday.

I hope you're having a terrific day so far.

Welcome back to our PBS classroom.

I'm Mrs. Hammock and I am here to help you learn all the skills you need to be excellent readers and writers.

I was just reading one of my favorite stories from when my girls were little.

It's called, "Franklin And The Tooth Fairy."

Franklin is a turtle and turtles don't have teeth.

So this is a great story because when my youngest daughter was little, she took forever to lose her first tooth.

All of her friends were losing their teeth and she was so sad because she wasn't getting a visit from the tooth fairy.

So this story was really sweet and it helped her to feel better about not being the same as all of her friends.

You might like to read this story, "Franklin And The Tooth Fairy" by Paulette Bourgeois.

You could look for it at your public county library or yep, that's right on Sora.

Good job.

Let's take a look and see who our number four school is on our checkout.

Are you ready?

Let's see who it is.

All right, number four, Turner Tigers.

Great job, Turner.

Super.

You did great.

We're so happy that you're reading books and checking them out from Sora.

Great job.

And if you're not part of Fresno Unified, I still hope you're checking out books online from the county public library.

Reading is the most magical place.

You can take your mind to all different new places and use your imagination.

So I hope you're doing that.

Hey, I have quite a few activity books still left to give out.

I would love to send you one.

Would you please send me a letter or a note right here to the address on your screen?

And I'll be sure to send this to you.

All you need to do is make sure I get your address, so I know where to send it.

I would be happy to send you one.

I think you'll enjoy it.

So send me a letter.

Okay.

It's time for us to wake up our brains and use our listening ears.

That's right.

So yesterday we played a game where you needed to tell me which word did not belong, but today I want you to tell me what is the same about my words.

I'm going to tell you three words.

I want you to tell me what is the same.

You ready?

Okay, here we go.

Fly, kite, pie.

What do you hear that's the same in all three of those?

I, good job.

Hey, you're getting the hang of this.

How about the next group of words?

Here we go.

Seed, teen, bee.

Yes, I heard it too, the E sound.

How about bike, tie, try?

Did you hear it?

Bi, I, ike.

Ti, I, I.

Try, I, I. I, good job.

And that's our sound this week isn't it?

Good for you.

Good training your ears to listen for that sound.

All right, it's time for us to practice our fluency.

Now remember if there's a spelling pattern that you are not sure about, get something to write with and write it down so you can practice.

We wanna get it locked in tight so we can be good readers.

Here we go.

O A says, oh, say it with me.

O W says, oh.

O E says, oh.

A Y says, A.

A I says, A. E A says, E. E E says, E. And I E says, E, sometimes, not that often.

All right, let's take a look at our silent E patterns.

Are you ready?

A consonant E says, A. I consonant E says, I. O consonant E says, oh.

U consonant E says, U, good for you?

E consonant E says, E, terrific.

Okay, so this week we're learning four more long I spelling patterns.

So here we have the five card and here are the ways to spell the I sound.

So let's review them.

And you say them with me, ready?

I says I, good, as in silent.

Y says I, good, as in sky.

I G H says I, good, as in bright.

And I E says I, as in die, great job.

You did that really, really well.

Okay, so now, boys and girls, we are going to read together a couple of words with spelling patterns, and then we're gonna build a few.

Are you ready?

Here we have p-ie, remember there's that I E says I. P-ie, pie, good.

L-igh-t, light, light, good job.

And let's try this one, b-i-nd, bind, bind, good job.

The I, when it's all by itself, can be kind of tricky because we're not sure if it's gonna make a short or a long sound.

Usually when you see a consonant blend at the end, it's gonna be the long I sound.

Not all the time, but that's a good kind of general rule to follow.

So here is bind.

What if I wanted to make that say find, what would I put?

Right, I need the f sound for f-i-nd, find.

We wouldn't say finned, 'cause that wouldn't make sense.

So if we say finned, then we say, oh no, let me try it with the I sound.

F-i-nd, find, good job.

We've been talking about being kind.

So how would I spell kind?

K, k, let's see.

Right, I need a K. I'm gonna put that there to say k-i-nd, kind.

Good job, you did great.

All right, let's take a look at our reading chart and practice a few on our chart.

Okay, here we go, let me get my reading finger.

All right, let's try this.

Ready?

H-igh, high.

B-y, by.

T-ie, tie.

Cr-y, cry.

S-igh, sigh.

N-igh-t, night.

L-ight, light.

Oh, here's that word we built, kind, and tie.

Ooh, what is this one?

Oh, good for you.

That's the long O, what does that one say?

Toe, good.

And sn-ow, snow.

And t-oast, toast.

What about this one?

T-each, teach.

Did you say, see how I put some review words in there to keep them fresh in your mind?

How about this one?

Gr-een, green, paint, stay and cry.

Great reading, good job.

Wow, you're getting good at that.

Let's take a look at our high frequency words for today.

We're just going to work on two of them.

Are you ready?

I have the word caught, caught, C A U G H T, caught.

All right, and I have the word laugh, laugh, L A U G H, laugh.

Now I want you to take a look at these.

I picked them on purpose even though they're on different colors, because I want you to notice they both have the A U G H, but this one says caught, and this one says laugh.

Do you see why it's important to learn these and get them stuck in your brain so you don't try to sound them out?

It can be confusing, right?

So high-frequency words are words that you see often in reading that you just need to memorize and get them locked in as fast as you know your name, because they can be extra tricky.

All right, let's take a look at our sentences and see which word belongs in which sentence?

Let me get my little finger.

I have I hmm at jokes.

I caught at jokes, I laugh at jokes, which one do you think?

Right, I think so too.

I laugh at jokes.

How about this one?

He hmm a bug.

He caught a bug.

Great job, you did that very well.

All right, today, we are going to learn something new about endings, inflectional endings.

Remember we learned about E S, and E D, and I N G. Well, today we're gonna learn a little bit about reading them and spelling them when they are added to a word that ends with a Y.

So let's see what this says.

When a word ends in a Y, we have to change the Y to an I before we add E S or E D. Okay, so when we have a word like cry, do you see the Y at the end?

If we wanna say cries, we need to change the Y, see how I changed it to an I?

And then I added E S. Now it says, cries, look at how it looked.

It said cry, and then cries.

I had to change the Y to an I. I have to do the same thing, if I wanna say, "My sister cried."

If it happened in the past.

I have to change that Y to an I and add E D. So it says cried.

So we have cry, cries, and cried.

All right, let's practice a little bit, 'cause that can be confusing.

Let's take a look at our word spy.

Here we have our base word, spy.

If I wanna say, "My brother spies on me," I'm going to change the Y to an I, and add E S, and now it says spies.

If I wanna say, "He spied on me yesterday," that means it happened in the past, that's when we add E D, I need to change the Y to an I, and add E D. So now I have spied, spy, spies, spied.

Let's do one more really quick.

Fry becomes fries, and fry becomes fried.

Did you see how we got rid of the Y and made it an I?

We'll practice more tomorrow.

So if it's confusing, don't worry, you'll get it, I know it, 'cause you are so smart.

Will you sing with me?
