I don't know.

Oh, hi, hey.

Welcome to our PBS classroom.

I'm Mrs. Hammack, and I'm here to help you practice and learn all the things you need to be an excellent reader and writer.

You caught me.

I was just looking at my Sora app trying to figure out what book I wanted to read.

I'll have to look at that later.

I hope you're looking at your Sora and figuring out what you wanna read this week.

Last week in Fresno Unified we had a digital reading challenge.

And so we kept track of how many minutes the different schools were reading and we have some winners.

We have some people who read and are on our list.

So let's see who number five is on our list for our digital reading challenge, are you ready?

Okay let's see who it is.

Aynesworth.

Great job Aynesworth.

Wow, great job.

I'm so proud of you.

Clap, clap, clap.

That means that you have been reading books on Sora.

Those are digital books.

And the nice thing about a digital book is as long as you have your device you can take it with you wherever you go.

Isn't that awesome?

Great job Aynesworth.

I can't wait to see who the others on our list is.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here with me today.

We are going to continue our great learning.

But before we do, I want to remind you that I have activity books that I would love to send to you.

And you know what?

I got an email this week from Ms. Gypson and her first graders at the Naval Air Station Lemoore at one of the elementary schools there.

I think it was acres if I'm not mistaken.

I loved hearing from you.

And I love that you guys watch every morning.

How are you?

I'm proud of you keep reading.

And boys and girls if you would like to have one of these, send me a letter right here to the address on our screen.

And I'll make sure to get one of these in the mail to you.

And I'll say hi to you too.

All right, let's see if we can get started with our learning today.

We are learning a new sound spelling card today but before we do, you know what we have to do, right?

You see what I'm getting?

That's right.

We need to train our ears for sound because before we can read sounds and write sounds we need to be able to identify them with our ears.

So when you hear a word you can hear that sound and know what that sound is.

So let's practice today with our phonemic awareness.

Today we're doing phoneme identity.

So that means I'm gonna tell you a list of three words and you're gonna use those beautiful ears and listen for the sound that's the same in all three words.

Okay, you have your good listening ears on?

Okay, here we go.

Moose, hoop, juice.

What sound do you hear in all three of those words?

Moose, hoop and juice.

Did you hear the u sound?

M oo se, hoo p and jui ce.

I heard it too.

Great listening.

Wow.

I think I just saw your brain grow stronger.

All right, let's try another one.

I have a list of three.

Listen for the sound that's the same.

House, cow, town.

What do you hear?

Yes, that is the ow sound.

All right, last one.

Are you ready?

Okay, turn up those listening ears.

Here we go.

Fruit, noon, chew.

Yes, great job.

The u sound.

Very nicely done.

This week, we are gonna focus on the u sound.

It's a little bit tricky.

There's a lot of ways to spell that sound but we're gonna focus on the most common.

That means the ways that we will see it most often in words.

So let's take a look at our sound spelling card.

Are you ready?

Okay, this week we have the spoon card.

Did you hear the u sound?

Right.

Now look at all the ways that we could possibly spell the u sound.

Oh my goodness.

There are seven.

That is too many to remember.

But that's okay because we're gonna focus on the most common.

Now we're gonna focus oo says, u.

Say that with me.

Oo says, u.

We're gonna focus on one.

It's a familiar one to you.

Remember, u consonant, there's that silent e says u, say it with me.

You consonant e says, u.

Sometimes the U all by itself says, u.

So let's say that.

You says, u. Ew says, u. do you see this line here?

Yeah, that's right.

That means ew is gonna be at the end of a word but it might also be at the end of a syllable.

Remember sometimes syllables, which are those word parts have the ew.

All right, ue says, u, ou says, u.

And ui says, u.

But we're going to focus on just these probably four oo, u consonant e, u and ew.

Those are the most common ones that we will see.

But today I just have three for you.

So we're gonna take a look and blend some words together using our new sound spelling.

So here you see are oo.

So when we see that, we're gonna say, u.

So let's see, here's s, do you remember the phoneme for S?

Rights s, oo and here's N, n. All right.

Let's do it.

S oo n, soon, soon.

Great job.

Soon you will be reading all of these words by yourself.

All right, now this word I have just the beginning part of it, fl fl.

And I'm gonna use our U consonant E to build our next word.

Let me move this one over, so we have room and I'm gonna put the T for the consonant, okay?

So remember that line in the middle means there's gonna be a letter there.

It's gonna be a consonant letter.

So here we go.

When we see this part of the word, U consonant E we're gonna say, u and then, t because that's the consonant there.

Here we go, f l u te, flute, flute.

Remember that e doesn't make a sound, good job.

All right, now, sometimes the U says, u, all by itself usually in the middle of a word.

So let's try this one.

Here's our consonant blend TR.

Do you remember the sound that makes?

Tr tr u th, there's our diagraph, the th sound.

Tr u th, truth.

How you do?

Great job.

So the spoon card is a little bit tricky, but you know what?

You can hard things.

So I believe in you because you're gonna practice with me all week long and you're gonna get it just like that.

Let's practice on our reading chart and let's see how you do with some of those words.

All right.

I need to get my reading finger.

Here we go.

Variant vowel.

That's what, u u the u card.

The spoon card is called.

Here we go.

Soup, room, soon, tools, super, cool.

R ude, rude.

Dr ew, drew.

N ew, b lue, j uice, juice.

Oh, you know this, it's a sight word.

You, very good.

L ook, oh look, wait a minute.

Does that say, u, does that say look?

No, that's a trick word.

Isn't it?

I put this here because I want you to remember that when you read if it doesn't sound right, go back and try it.

L ook, look.

Now that word is look, look.

And we've learned that word before.

So I wanted to show you that sometimes words can be tricky when they're spelled different ways.

All right, we are going to do some high-frequency words this week.

We have six.

And we're going to work on them all week long, two at a time.

All right, here we go.

Our first word is door, door, D-O-O-R, door.

Then we have enough, enough.

E-N-O-U-G-H, enough.

And busy B-U-S-Y, busy.

This word is brought, B-R-O-U-G-H-T, brought.

That's a long one.

Make sure you're reading them and spelling them with me.

This word is eyes.

I have two eyes, E-Y-E-S, eyes.

And this word is answer A-N-S-W-E-R, answer.

Good job.

All right, now I have some sentences and our high-frequency words are hiding.

So you're gonna need to get your good looking detective eyes ready and tell me which high-frequency word you see.

Here we go.

Do we have enough time to play?

Which one did see?

Right, good job.

Here it is, enough.

My eyes are brown.

Are my eyes brown?

No, but this sentence says my eyes are brown.

Do you see the word eyes?

Good for you.

Who opened the door?

Good, door, I thought I could trick you with that one but I didn't.

We had a busy day at school.

Boy, that's true, isn't it?

Which one?

Yes, good, busy.

Sam brought his flute home from school.

Oh, good for you.

There's brought.

So that means this one has to be answer.

I will answer the phone.

Terrific job.

You have done an amazing job today.

That was a lot to cover in such a short amount of time but you were focused in learning and I could hear you.

Great job.

I want you to come back every day this week so we can learn that tricky spoons spelling card and be excellent readers.

♪ Good bye now, goodbye now ♪ ♪ The clock says we're done ♪ ♪ I'll see you tomorrow ♪ ♪ Goodbye everyone ♪ Have a fabulous day.

Read lots of good books and practice those high frequency words in writing and in reading so that you know them as fast as you know your name and I'll see you tomorrow, bye bye.
